Group Report and presentation:

Presentations are based on the techniques and methods used for teaching a specific disabling
condition (for example Group 1 presents for Hearing Impairment and other groups are assigned
with different disabling conditions). Due to time constraints it is suggested that the group may
produce the information about the disabling conditions* during iclass in the specified week (this is
also to encourage them to be actively involved in iclass). They may present their methods used for
teaching during the seminars. Report is required after the presentation and discussions.
