Question

Discuss the educational consequences of hearing loss and the educational options available for school age children with hearing loss.

Answer 1

Ans.

Hearing loss causes delays in the development of speech and language, and those delays then lead to learning problems, often resulting in poor school performance. ... In addition to the classroom environment, certain subjects are just intrinsically more difficult for a child with hearing loss.

Hearing loss can affect a person in three main ways: fewer educational and job opportunities due to impaired communication. social withdrawal due to reduced access to services and difficulties communicating with others. emotional problems caused by a drop in self-esteem and confidence.

the educational options available to deaf students--

Here are the most common choices:

• a residential Deaf school, or.
• a mainstream school, or.
• a mixed approach in which you mainstream your child for a part of their schooling and then send them to a residential Deaf school for the remainder (or the other way around),
• half-days split between a mainstream school and a residential Deaf school.

Residential Schools

A residential school is an institution where students typically go and live full time while attending. These can be private or state schools. All the students in the school are deaf or hard of hearing. They are often educated by deaf teachers or teachers who are trained in deafness.

Deaf children are entitled to free and appropriate education in public school. That said, however, some deaf children benefit from and/or prefer specialized schools for the deaf.
