For children to optimally achieve success in their learning adventure, it is
neccessary that the attitude and environment are prepared for hearing and learning to
occur. If a child has a hearing impairment, the learning process is challenged by the
fact that information received is either limited or altered. As a result, the learning
experience can be very stressful and difficult for a child who has a hearing loss, be
it mild to profound, fluctuating or stable.
Creating a careful learning environment and applying effective communication techniques
will maximize learning and socialization to greatly impact a child's overall devleopment.
Such effort early in the formative years will make a difference in each child's future,
laying the groundwork for success. This guide has been prepared to help make this happen.
It is designed for parents, teachers and all who share in the welfare of children with
hearing loss. It includes information about hearing and hearing impairment with a wide
variety of tips to help a child with hearing loss. A curriculum plan for teachers to
help their students understand hearing and hearing loss is included, as well as a
program which teaches how to protect hearing. A glossary of terms and suggested readings
and resources are included for further reference.
