  2. The Hearing Impaired Child Who are they? Can you tell which student is hearing impaired just by looking them?

  3. Difference between deaf and hearing impairment? • Deaf: Can’t hear anything without an aid of some sort. (Ex. Hearing aids, corrective surgery) • Hearing impairment: There is a loss, but it is not as severe as deaf. • (Giuliani & Pierangelo,2001,p.63)

  4. Types of hearing losses in children • Prelingual: “hearing loss that is present at birth or occurs before the child has learned a language.” • Postlingual: “A hearing loss that occurs after the child has developed the spoken language.” • (Schirmer, 2001, p.6-8)

  5. Signs of hearing loss • When a student/person is always facing the direction sound is coming from. • Always pushing hair behind their ears. • A student pays attention to your mouth and expressions.

  6. More signs • David and Roger Johnson (2001) alerts teachers to watch for “withdrawal and avoidance of interaction” (David and Roger Johnson, 2001, p.32)

  7. Academic effects • student may not take correct notes or do an assignment the way a teacher explains it. • Language may be misunderstood. Language learning is based largely on listening.

  8. Struggling Social effects • David and Roger Johnson (2001) mention, “there is evidence that hearing students are unlikely to modify their initiations to take into account their classmate’s lack of hearing” • Kids can be cruel and don’t always want to help others out. (David and Roger Johnson, 2001, p.32)

  9. What you can do as a teacher • Strategically seat them in the room… • Check for comprehension • Try putting yourself in their shoes.
