About the store
HI!!! I'm Heather Burgen! I help busy teachers provide quality, MEANINGFUL, resources for their deaf and hard of hearing students, so that everyone has FULL ACCESS to the curriculum. I am so happy you are here! I am a 20+ year veteran Teacher of the Deaf. I have taught deaf and hard of hearing students in multiple settings including, a residential school for the deaf, a specialized DHH classroom at public schools and currently as an itinerant teacher. All of my experience is with students who use American Sign Language to communicate and I understand how frustrating it can be to ensure all my DHH students are getting FULL ACCESS to the curriculum that their peers are getting.
I LOVE creating educational resources FOR YOU to use with your students to keep them meaningfully engaged in daily instruction, as well has helping to bridge the gaps we often see due to language deprivation and language protection. I adapt curriculum and add ASL elements for my students AND YOURS so you don't have to! Everything you've been searching for is right here in my store,
