Pennsylvania has completed a three year pilot looking at promising practices in the field of reading for students who are Deaf or Hard of Hearing. What we learned in our journey will be shared via this wiki and ongoing workshops with PaTTAN (Pennsylvania Training and Technical Assistance Network). Our goal is to share information and support each other as we implement new strategies in reading.
