chapter 9-11
I think itinerant teachers are very important. Some students do great with an itinerant teacher. Others may benefit more from a self contained classroom. Having not been or be exposed to itinerant teacher I can't sat anything to specific about it benefits or negatives. However, I do agree it is important for the itinerant teacher and the regular teacher to meet regular. They are both responsible for the student so they need to ensure the student is receiving the best education possible for that student. Communication will also help them to see where the child is really progressing and where the child is struggling when it comes time to prepare the child's IEP. I think itinerant teachers are very important, especially in the area of teaching deaf and hard of hearing students. They help get students the services they need.

I think itinerant teachers are important as well for keeping the child in their community, but I think it would be better to have a system like Springfield public schools where all the students who are deaf or hard of hearing are serviced in the same school. I too, have not been exposed to an itinerant situation and so I have mixed feelings about it and how the process works. If itinerant is the best situation for the child then communication between regular teacher and itinerant teacher is going to be the most important component.
