In today's episode, we are thrilled to have Kentrell Martin, an advocate for accessible education and communication, join us. Kentrell recently profoundly impacted the learning community at ACS Athens through his engaging sessions with Early Childhood students and teachers, focusing on the transformative power of sign language. As an expert in the field, Kentrell shared his expertise on learning differences and emphasized the importance of embracing diverse communication channels to foster a more inclusive learning environment. His visit to the school sparked a wave of enthusiasm among educators and students alike as they explored new ways to connect and understand each other. Our co-host today is Early Childhood Coordinator Sophia Moros.
With Kentrell and Sophia today we discuss:
- All about being different;
- Bridging the gap between the deaf and the hearing;
- Teaching Sign Language to the Early Childhood students;
- Misconceptions about communicating with the hearing-impaired;
- Pivoting in the classroom to meet the needs of students with differences;
- The crucial importance of early intervention.
.... and much more!
