The "Secret" Curriculum: What Your DHH Student *ACTUALLY* Needs to Succeed

The Expanded Core Curriculum (ECC) isn't just an "add-on"—it’s the foundation for everything our DHH students do.

In this video, I’m breaking down how we can move past just "getting through the school day" and start focusing on the skills that actually lead to independence. I know how overwhelming the ECC can feel, so I’m sharing exactly how I approach it at The Online Itinerant.
