Bridging access to education and learning for every student.
Sound Bridge Educational Services | Deaf and Hard of Hearing and Mild Intervention School-Based Independent Contractor Services
Kelsey Peterson
As an independent contractor specializing in Deaf and Hard of Hearing (DHH) and Mild Interventions services through SoundBridge Education, I bring 11 years of professional experience in the education sector, supporting students in classroom settings. My expertise encompasses in-person, virtual, and hybrid instructional models, which allows me to adapt my services to meet the evolving needs of students and educational teams.
I hold a K–12 Deaf and Hard of Hearing (DHH) license and a K–12 Mild Interventions license, demonstrating my commitment to delivering effective special education services that enhance student access, academic progress, and classroom participation. I work collaboratively with general education teachers, special education staff, related service providers, and administrative teams to align my services with IEP goals, intervention plans, and school expectations.
I earned my degree from Ball State University in 2015 and have built my practice on the principles of professionalism, consistency, and student-centered support. As an independent contractor, I integrate seamlessly into school environments while providing reliable, flexible, and compliant educational services.
