User:Bellis24/Audism

This is my first time trying to use the sandbox feature (Really doing anything with wikipedia so I would like to apologize if this is in the wrong location. However I do believe that this is under my course sandbox and not my personal wiki sandbox because when I started in that sandbox I got a notification correcting my actions).

Audism Article,

I believe as though this article has gotten off to a good start, but is lacking in how the educational system may have audist tendencies and policies which inhibit the education of deaf students. I really want to include information from the book The Oxford Handbook of Deaf Studies, Language, and Education, Volume 1. I found this book in the citations of the "Audism" wikipedia page and it has some great points about audism in education that were not used in the wikipedia page. This book must be bought to read all pages, but the first 94 are available without paying the $115. On page 37 they discuss some challenges faced by deaf students due to audism. Such challenges faced by Deaf students, but not hearing students, are needing to pay attention to a computer screen or board while information is being given by the teacher and Deaf students falling behind in reading levels and not being helped to catch up.
