Former Illinois Junior High Teacher Hi all - I'm not even sure where to start on this. I couldn't quote from all of the misinformation posted in these comments so I am just going to bullet out some thoughts. 1) I am a teacher certified in the State of Illinois. 2) Whoever said you only...

Has anyone ever had business cards printed to "explain" your hearing issue? I was thinking of getting cards that say something like - if you aren't looking at me I cannot understand you. I also read on someone's post the STEP with me acronym, (Sign, Text, E-Mail, Pen/Paper) - which I think...
