BELONG

Investigators: Alana Papageorgiou, Donna Cross, Kevin Runions, Lisa Patterson, Rena Vithiatharan, Therese Shaw, Tommy Cordin

BELONG aims to test a new website for children in Years 4-6 who are Deaf or hard of hearing. We hope that this website will help make going to school better and interacting with teachers and classmates easier for children with hearing loss. The website will be useful for students, their parents and their teachers.
