For focus student number one, I will adapt the learning goal by presenting the auditory memory for words at a level two to increase difficulty. The student has mastered level one of repeating two words, and will continue to be pushed to a harder level to improve the skill. For focus student number two, I will adapt the learning goal by presenting the auditory memory for words at a level one to build confidence and accuracy towards the goal.

Both focus student number one and student number two will wear their required decides during the lesson. Focus student number one wears bilateral hearing aids, and focus student number two wears a bone anchored hearing aid. Each device is designed to deliver sound to the impaired
