Interesting question for all of you:

I don't have specific details, but here is the scenario:

A student that has a hearing impairment is in the clinical portion of their education and is assigned to an outside, private practice.  They typically rely upon lip reading to interact with people in this type of setting.  However, given the need for masking and distancing this is not a readily available technique to rely upon.

What are/would you do if you had a student in a similar situation? 

• Provide a supply of masks with a clear window for patients they interact with to allow lipreading
• Provide a supply of face shields
• Utilize a live transcription service (via iPad or other device)
• Other ideas??

Thanks so much!
