![]() ![]() A major concern expressed by researchers regarding D/HH students in general education classrooms is their ability to actively and fully participate in classroom instruction and discussion because of their communication difficulties ( Garrison, Long, & Stinson, 1994 Saur, Layne, Hurley, & Opton, 1986). These numbers are likely to be underestimates of the true numbers of D/HH students in general education classrooms because school districts that serve only a few D/HH students may not respond to the annual survey. Data from the Annual Survey of D/HH Children and Youth ( Karchmer & Mitchell, 2003) show that during the 2000–2001 school year, 75% of all D/HH students were reported to attend public schools and 44% spent some proportion of the school day in general education classrooms. Today, the majority of students who are deaf or hard of hearing (D/HH) and receiving special education services are educated in public schools of these, a large number attend general education classrooms for some or all of their academic subjects.
