Despite the calls and efforts of the international agencies/organizations for the creation, promotion and implementation of measures that would assert the right of the deaf and hard-of-hearing (D/HH) learners to access a culture-sensitive education of good quality, numerous foreign and local studies would attest to the prevailing need of an organized form of support services. Recommendations have been made that would benefit including those taught in predominantly hearing classrooms. Among these recommendations is to make the curricula suitable for the mainstreamed D/HH learners. The paper presents the results of the method adopted to modify the general mathematics curriculum currently used in Philippine public schools' mainstream D/HH classrooms. Such method was presented on the 15th Asian Conference on Education (ACE2023). Using Tyler's Evaluation Model and Eisner's Connoisseurship Evaluation Model, the whole process combined scientific and humanistic ways of examining how the geometry competencies of Grade 7 mathematics are covered in terms of the five curricular components of learner outcomes, time allocation, learning experiences, learning assessment, and learning materials. From such examination, five more curricular components emerged. These are the remediation, interpreter-teacher collaboration, non-Math related school events/activities, seating arrangement, and stakeholders’ role. Furthermore, some curricular components should be viewed as a single working component. The product of the analysis is a curriculum adaptation model that can serve as a model for developing and modifying curricula in other Mathematics subjects for the community of learners in the D/HH mainstream classroom, and of other mainstreamed learners with special needs.
