The development of this model Communication Center withina hypothetical school for the deaf outlines the important aspects of language and communication needed by hearing impaired students to adequately mature emotionally, educationally, and socially. By establishing this model Communication Center, future teachers, parents, and professionals working with deaf students will be able to refer to specific ideas and/or gain a better understanding of the language and communication needs of the hearing impaired student. This model may provide other schools a basis on which to build a similar language and communication center within their own programs.
