THE EDUCATION OF HERAING-IMPAIRED CHILDREN – A NEW APPROACH

Summary/Abstract: The education of Heraing-Impaired Children – a New Approach. When constructing our new approach to hearing impairment we began from the idea that, in our line of work, we should no longer start from the notion of „how much the child cannot hear“, but from „what the cildren can hear when helped by the appropriate hearing-aid“. We have designed the new concept of school for hearing-impaired children starting from a new curricular framework meant to allow for the following activities to be carried out within the school: the diagnosis of children 8- monts old, the choise of the appropriate hearing-aid function of the respective degree hearing-impairment; early intervention by means of efficiently involving the parents in the rehabilitation, and the introduction of a new teaching technique that allows for the formation – as early as possible – of oral communication abilities in case of hearing-impaired children.
