Odd Man Out: Addressing Self-Concept Needs of Students who are Deaf or Hard of Hearing

Dr. Brett Bersano with Michelle Andros

Students with hearing loss may struggle with self concept issues, particularly as they get older. Dr. Brett Bersano will talk about research results from his studies at Gallaudet that specifically address how self- concept is affected by hearing loss, gender, age, and educational placement. Dr. Bersano will help differentiate terms that can be confused with self- concept, such as self- confidence and self- esteem and discuss how concept and esteem are part of self- concept development. He uses research results to validate practices within the areas of self- concept and academic self- concept for students. Dr. Bersano provides insight to help students overcome issues, and resources and techniques to help participants assist their students in need.
