As a result of COVID-19, digitalisation of education has occurred earlier than anticipated. In this context, accessible technology in partnership with support products improves the digital culture and broadens the learning horizon, facilitates and motivates participation as well as equal opportunities. Their use and implementation should therefore not create new barriers but create new learning opportunities.
This guide, aimed at government education policy-makers, educational care professionals, students themselves and their families, aims to be an agile and practical instrument for approaching various elements that contribute to making education, in the digital age, an inclusive and accessible environment for students with hearing disabilities. In particular to support oral communication and the application of hearing support products for access to information, communication and knowledge.
