Hearing Impaired

In my kindergarten practicum I have a child that is hearing impaired in both ears, but can hear if you talk through a microphone. He does all of the same activities that the other children do and is not treated any different. He is in our lower level reading group and loses focus quickley when we begin projects. He is taken out of the room frequently during the day for special intervention classes. This leaves him behind in our activites and projects when he returns to the classroom. I sometimes wonder if this is why he is in the lower level reading group and loses focus quickley. Maybe he is taken out of class to much and does not need to be. I believe that by taking him out of class he is losing ample learning time with his peers.
