School for Hearing-Impaired
Children opened in September of 1982. It is the only private school for
hearing-impaired children in the State of Washington. Karen Appelman and
Judy Callahan, Directors of Northwest School For Hearing-Impaired
Children, have worked together in the public school system from 1973-1980. While lecturing at the University of Washington, Karen and Judy,
co-authored a textbook (Teaching the Hearing-Impaired Through
Total Communication) on successful techniques they had developed
for
teaching deaf and hard-of hearing children. These techniques result in
complete, original English sentences from hearing-impaired students, as
well as general academic success and growth in self-confidence. With these
skills, deaf and hard-of-hearing students are given the opportunity to
become an active part of hearing society.
