Integration services are accessible to all students, whether they have passed through the in-house classes or not.
The service’s three key strategies are:
1
Direct student support and family collaboration
Résonance Montréal’s itinerant educational specialists (IES) provide individualized support to students with hearing loss throughout their elementary and high school years. The goal: strengthen academic skills, listening and spoken language, and guide families every step of the way.
Working in partnership with school boards, service centres, and school teams, IES offer:
- Monitoring and troubleshooting of hearing devices and FM systems
- Coordination of technical support
- Development of listening, spoken language, literacy, and academic skills
- Support for organization, study habits, and social skills
- Family guidance and participation in audiology appointments
2
Support for school teams
Mandated by the Ministry of Education, Résonance Montréal also offers supraregional support to all English school boards in Quebec. IES collaborate with educators to:
- Share strategies for teaching students with hearing loss
- Give in-class presentations and assist with IEP planning
- Prepare three reports per year (Goals, Mid-Year Progress, and Year-End)

Audiology services
Each IES is paired with an audiologist to ensure students’ hearing technology functions optimally and to support access to sound in the classroom.
