The study looked at one school's efforts to incorporate and integrate students who were deaf or hard of hearing. Over the course of three years, a series of interviews with educators and observations of classrooms shed light on the crucial roles that were performed by both general educators and special educators. It is described the responsibilities of the special educators, the adaptations and accommodations made by the classroom teachers, issues concerning the ownership and attitude of the classroom teachers, perceptions of the role of the special educator, as well as specific areas of concern expressed by both the special educators and the classroom teachers.
