• Mr. Matherson might supplement his auditory presentations with visual aids (e.g., pictures, maps) and hands-on experiences.
• The case study doesn't tell us whether Becky has the ability to read lips (i.e., to speechread). If she does, Mr. Matherson should regularly position himself in locations where Becky can easily see his face.
