  • Guidelines for the Assessment of Deaf and Hard-Of-Hearing Children In
    Guidelines for the Assessment and Educational Evaluation of Deaf and Hard-of-Hearing Children in Indiana Based on 511 IAC Article 7, 2008 Effective Date: August 13, 2008 Revised Date: August 31, 2010 Updated Date: November 15, 2013 [1] This document is dedicated to all deaf and hard-of- hearing children in Indiana and their families. Since 1843, deaf and hard-of-hearing children have been educated in this state and many leave our schools, go out into the world, and become productive citizens. Some children in the past have not been so fortunate and may not have left the educational system with the knowledge and tools to maximize their potential. This guide was developed to help educators use assessment information and evaluations to assist parents and the case conference committees in determining how a child can reach their full potential. Advances in technology, as well as greater knowledge of how the brain functions and how language is acquired, have helped the professionals who work with this population provide information that will lead to informed decision making. This guide was made possible by the teamwork and collaboration of audiologists, psychologists, speech pathologists, language specialists, social workers, and parents. Special gratitude is extended to Linda Charlebois and Terri Waddell-Motter who took the lead in assembling this information. We also thank additional contributors, including (and not limited to) Carolyn Pimentel, Lorinda Bartlett, Pam Burchett, Debra Liebrich, Louise Fitzpatrick, Sheryl Whiteman, Carol Wild, Shannon Stafford, Jackie Katter, Janet Fuller, and Joyce Conner. Guidelines for the Assessment and Educational Evaluation of Deaf and Hard-of-Hearing Children in Indiana, based on the Article 7 changes of 2008, was developed by Outreach Services for Deaf and Hard-of-Hearing Children.

  • Early Intervention: Communication and Language Services for Families of Deaf and Hard-Of-Hearing Children
    EARLY INTERVENTION: COMMUNICATION AND LANGUAGE SERVICES FOR FAMILIES OF DEAF AND HARD-OF-HEARING CHILDREN Our child has a hearing loss. What happens next? What is early intervention? What can we do to help our child learn to communicate with us? We have so many questions! You have just learned that your child has a hearing loss. You have many questions and you are not alone. Other parents of children with hearing loss have the same types of questions. All your questions are important. For many parents, there are new things to learn, questions to ask, and feelings to understand. It can be very confusing and stressful for many families. Many services and programs will be available to you soon after your child’s hearing loss is found. When a child’s hearing loss is identified soon after birth, families and professionals can make sure the child gets intervention services at an early age. Here, the term intervention services include any program, service, help, or information given to families whose children have a hearing loss. Such intervention services will help children with hearing loss develop communication and language skills. There are many types of intervention services to consider. We will talk about early intervention and about communication and language. Some of the services provided to children with hearing loss and their families focus on these topics. This booklet can answer many of your questions about the early intervention services and choices in communication and languages available for you and your child. Understanding Hearing Loss Timing: The age when a hearing loss has occurred is known as “age of onset.” You also might come across the terms prelingual and postlingual.

  • Auditory-Verbal
    *Communication Building Blocks A review of choices in communication A smile, a cry, a gesture, or a look – all can communicate thoughts or ideas. It can take many repetitions of a gesture, look, word, phrase, or sound before a child begins to “break the code” between communication attempts and real meaning. Communication surrounding the child in his or her natural environment is the basis for a child’s language development. Two-way communication, responding to your child and encouraging your child to respond to you, is the key to your child’s language development. When a child has a hearing loss, one avenue of communication input is impaired. With a mild hearing loss or hearing loss in just one ear, a child will not hear as well as normal when a person is speaking from another room or in a noisy car. Incidental conversations and snippets of language will not be overheard. The fullness of language and social skills may be affected even though the child appears to “hear”. Hearing aids can help, but not solve all of the child’s difficulties perceiving soft or distant speech. Children with greater degrees of hearing loss will have greater hearing limitations that require more intensive attention if they are to progress in learning language, either through visual or auditory means. No matter what the degree of a child’s hearing loss, parents need to decide how to adapt their normal communication style to meet the needs of their baby with hearing impairment. There are different ways to communicate and different philosophies about communication.

ARSIĆ3 UNIVERSITY OF PRIŠTINA IN KOSOVSKA MITROVICA FACULTY OF TEACHER EDUCATION IN PRIZREN – LEPOSAVIĆ BILINGUAL APPROACH IN THE EDUCATION OF DEAF AND HARD OF HEARING CHILDREN ABSTRACT. The bilingualism of deaf and hard of hearing children implies the knowledge and regular use of sign language, which is used by the community of deaf people, and of spoken language, which is used by the hearing majority. At preschool and school age, it is necessary to allow children to continue adopt- ing the language that they started in the family (either sign language or spo- ken language). Children will adopt both language modalities best through interactions with other fluent speakers. Results of numerous studies indicate that the best approach in the process of development of speech and lan- guage and the education of the deaf and hard of hearing children is the bilin- gual approach. The aim of this approach is to develop communication skills in children, to provide a higher level of education for them, and to include them in the life of the community. It is necessary to improve the existing ed- ucation system in the direction of developing a kind of a model that will re- 1 [email protected] 2 [email protected] 3 [email protected] The paper is from the Project of the Ministry of Education, Science and Technological Development of the Republic of Serbia entitled Тhe Effect of Cochlear Implantation on the Education of Deaf and Hard of Hearing Persons, No.
