About the
Interview Collection

“When you hear hoofbeats,
it’s usually horses, not zebras.”

We recognize that only 1 of every 100 IEPs is for a student eligible for special education services primarily due to hearing loss or deafness. Yet many of the behaviors and learning issues experienced by students with hearing loss in the mainstream classroom are similar to those of students with learning disorders. Hearing loss is a communication access issue, not a learning disorder. Our interviewees are persons in the field of deaf education that are recognized for their expertise or, as we call them, Zebra Experts!

Supporting Success’ very own Michelle Andros will be conducting the interviews. View the interviews in any order during the three-month virtual conference period from January 15 to April 15, 2024. This allows you to view one interview a week, plus have a couple of weeks to spare. We have worked to improve the features of our video conferencing platform! We will also have an app-based option to allow you to listen as you drive between schools. You CAN do this! Come learn with us!
