" ... a program to help students learn about their hearing loss. It can also be used to educate teachers and families. ... resource for teachers of the hearing impaired, speech pathologists and audiologists. The goal of KIP is to move students from basic information about anatomy, hearing loss and hearing aids to dealing with their feelings about loss, grief and self-esteem to self-reliance and personal responsibility. The program moves incrementally through steps by introducing one topic at a time in easy to understand sections. These sections present information in an interactive way by using pre- and post- tests, graphics and worksheets. There are stories as told by children and adults who are either deaf or hard-of-hearing. These first person accounts of what life is about are notable because they are so varied."--Publisher's website
