Safety Checklist for IEP Teams

Developed by the Education Resources for Children with Hearing Loss committee, this checklist serves as an additional resource for consideration by individualized education program (IEP) teams and safety committees in public schools that provide services to students who are deaf/hard of hearing. Due to the unique nature of the communication needs of students who are deaf, hard of hearing, or deaf-blind, it is suggested that IEP teams use this checklist to assure that students have full access to the language and implementation of safety plans. This list is intended to guide discussions to determine needs and supports for students who are deaf, hard of hearing, or deaf-blind during emergency situations.
