What makes Melody special

Every learner brings something important.

Melody has some hearing loss, although it may not be visible to others. She experiences sound in her own way and may use helpful strategies to understand, participate, and connect.

How Melody supports the crew

Building the bridge together

Melody helps the crew explore different ways to share emotions and ideas. She also reminds her friends to face the person communicating, reduce unnecessary background noise, and make sure everyone can participate.

Melody’s purpose

What children can learn

Melody helps children understand self-expression and provides representation for a difference that is not always visible. She shows that we should not make assumptions about what someone can hear, understand, or enjoy based only on appearance.
