⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ Erin B. says, "This activity is great for working on building my students' awareness of their hearing-related needs. I had a similar printed material that I used when in-person learning was happening, but this boom card deck is so much easier and effective for distance learning. It has many great features and is a great review or introductory activity for hearing loss."
⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ Sheena V. says, "This was an excellent way to work on advocacy skills with students in a distance platform. They could learn to label their equipment in a fun and engaging way."
