It recommends using shared reading activities to target multiple areas of language development, as shared reading has been shown to promote language skills in both typical children and those with impairments. Sample pre-reading, reading, and post-reading activities are provided to support language interventions using books.
This document discusses fluency, factors that affect fluency, and dimensions of fluent speech. It defines fluency as effortless, continuous speech produced at a rapid rate. Factors that influence fluency include stress, sound duration, co-articulation, and effort. Disfluency refers to normal speech interruptions while dysfluency refers to stuttered interruptions. Dimensions of fluency include continuity, rate, duration, co-articulation, and effort. The document also discusses classifications of disfluencies and characteristics of stuttering as a disruption of fluent speech patterns.
AUGMENTATIVE AND ALTERNATIVE COMMUNICATION FOR PEOPLE WITH INTELLECTUAL DISAB...Shazia Tahira
People with intellectual disability have the right to communicate in the most appropriate means necessary in order to have some control of their life. About half of these individuals do not develop enough speech and language to meet their daily needs. Therefore augmentative and alternative communication strategies are needed to enhance learning, increase social interaction, and provide functional communication skills.
This document discusses hearing impairment and hearing aids. It describes how sound travels through the ear and common types of hearing loss such as conductive, sensorineural, and auditory processing disorders. The document outlines different types of hearing aids including Behind-The-Ear (BTE), In-The-Ear (ITE), In-The-Canal (CIC), Receiver-In-The-Canal (RIC), and cochlear implants. It provides accommodations that can help those with hearing impairments in the classroom, such as having the student sit in the best place to hear and using visual aids.
The WISC-IV is an individually administered intelligence test for children published in 2003 as an update to previous versions. It yields an overall intelligence score and index scores in verbal comprehension, perceptual reasoning, working memory, and processing speed based on 10 core subtests. The test was standardized on a stratified sample of 2,200 children aged 6 to 16. It addresses some limitations of previous versions through improved sample representation, updated materials, and a focus on the CHC model of intelligence while still incorporating a general intelligence factor. Comparisons to other tests like the SB5 show many similarities in approach but some differences in subtests and composite scores.
Raven’s Progressive Matrices are a group or individually administered tests that non-verbally assesses intelligence in children and adults through abstract reasoning.

This document summarizes sensory and perceptual development from infancy to childhood. It discusses how each sense develops, including vision maturing slowly, infants preferring faces and patterns, and auditory and tactile senses being most developed at birth. Integration of senses also develops, from newborns expecting touch matches vision, to infants matching voices and faces by 3-6 months. Attention span and selective attention improve as children develop more systematic exploration of their environment.
The psychological report summarizes the evaluation of a 10-year-old boy referred for testing. Testing found the boy's cognitive functioning to be in the borderline range, with weaker performance than verbal skills. Socially, he functions at the average level for his age. The report recommends he be observed further and provided support to address difficulties with attention, impulsivity, and low self-esteem that may impact his functioning.
Herman Ebbinghaus developed the first sentence completion test in 1879. Later, tests like the Rorschach-Incomplete Sentence Blank and those developed by Amanda Rhode became popular projective personality assessments using sentence stems. Sentence completion tests typically measure areas like attitudes towards family, sex, relationships, and self-concept through respondents' completions of sentence stems. The Rotter Incomplete Sentence Blank remains one of the most widely used sentence completion tests today.

Emotional and behavioral disorder hands outmakhay57557
Emotional and behavioral disorders are defined by three factors: intensity, pattern, and duration. Intensity refers to the severity of the problem, pattern refers to when the problem occurs, and duration refers to how long the problem has been present. Emotional and behavioral disorders can be classified using diagnostic manuals, statistical analysis of behaviors, direct observation methods, or degree of severity. Causes may include biological and temperamental factors as well as environmental influences from home, family, and school experiences. Educational approaches aim to teach social skills, provide alternative responses to problems, and develop self-management skills through positive reinforcement and rule setting.
The document provides an overview of the physiology of language and speech. It discusses the history of discoveries in this field. It describes the organs involved in speech and the development of speech abilities in the brain. It examines the different types of speech and identifies the key language and speech areas in the brain like Broca's area, Wernicke's area, and others. It explains the neurophysiology and mechanisms underlying language comprehension and production. It also discusses speech disorders and recent advances in assessing articulation functions.
1) Aphasia is a language disorder caused by damage to the central nervous system, most commonly from stroke, tumor, trauma, or disease.
2) Symptoms of childhood aphasia include difficulties with word-finding, vocabulary, comprehension, pronunciation, grammar, and reading/writing.
3) Recovery is generally faster and more complete in children than adults, though the right hemisphere can take over language functions if damage occurs early enough in the left hemisphere.
Jane, age 9 years 7 months, was referred for a psychological evaluation by her mother who was concerned about Jane's reading fluency and comprehension difficulties. Jane appeared comfortable during assessments but struggled with reading aloud and decoding words. Test results and teacher reports indicated issues with reading. Jane's medical and family history were unremarkable, though she reported being bullied at school which upset her. The psychological evaluation was conducted to better understand Jane's challenges and provide recommendations to support her reading development.
Functional behavioral assessments (FBAs) aim to understand the purpose or function of challenging student behaviors. An FBA involves observing patterns in a student's behavior to determine the triggers, behaviors, and consequences. Common functions of inappropriate behaviors include gaining attention, avoiding tasks, and communicating needs. An FBA should be conducted when a student displays chronic issues or after suspensions. The results are used to create behavioral intervention plans to reduce problematic behaviors and teach replacement behaviors.
This document discusses assistive technologies for library users who are deaf or hard of hearing. It begins with definitions of deafness and disability. It then discusses identifying characteristics of different groups within the deaf community, including those who are culturally Deaf, deafened, hard of hearing, and deafblind. The document reviews laws like the ADA that impact library services for the deaf. It provides an overview of current technologies used in libraries like TTY/TDD, video relay services, closed captioning and sign language interpreters. It also presents guidelines for libraries to provide inclusive services and collections for deaf patrons. Emerging technologies discussed include internet protocol relay and video relay services.
The document discusses correlational research, which examines the relationship between two or more variables without manipulating them. Correlational research involves collecting empirical data on variables from the same group of subjects. It determines if variables covary or occur together but does not prove causation. Positive correlations indicate variables increase together, while negative correlations mean they increase in opposite directions. Correlational research is often exploratory and can be used to identify variables for later experimental research.

Persons with multiple disabilities have two or more serious disabilities that cause severe educational needs. They have complex instructional needs due to interactional effects of their disabilities. Multiple disabilities include cognitive, physical, sensory and health impairments requiring extensive supports. Accurate assessment is challenging due to limitations, so interviews regarding adaptive behaviors are more informative. Legislation requires public education and related services. Current trends favor inclusion with necessary supports when possible, though some controversy remains.

It emphasizes the importance of inclusive collections and clear policies to support this patron group.
This document discusses the benefits of early language learning through play-based immersion programs for families. It notes that children under age 6 have an innate ability to learn languages easily through social play in multi-age classes. Learning a second language provides cognitive benefits and helps preserve cultural heritage and family ties. Research shows benefits for language development, literacy, memory, and social skills that can last into adulthood. Play-based methods make learning fun and help children absorb language information through their sensory and emotional brains.
The study sought to find out the feasibility and necessity of the hearing impaired child to speak. The researchers after visiting one of the special schools in South Africa were amused to see the deaf children speaking. It is against this background that the researchers were prompted to carry out the study. A sample of twelve teachers from one special school in Zimbabwe was selected as a research study. The school head and fifteen students were also selected. A survey study was used. The research instruments used were document analysis, the questionnaires and the interview. Questionnaires were administered to twelve teachers and fifteen pupils. Face to face interview was carried out with one of the school heads. The study revealed that most teachers were not proficient in the use of the sign language so they welcomed the proposal of enhancing the deaf child to speak. Mixed sentiments were given by the deaf children. The idea of enabling the deaf child to speak was welcomed by most of the students. Some students furiously responded that they are not eager and will never bother themselves by trying to speak. The study recommended that both oral and sign language ought to be used so that the deaf child will not face communication challenges with their peers and the people at large. Teachers need to show a positive attitude and some dedication when dealing with the hearing impaired students. There is also need to have some workshops so that the teachers will learn the sign language since there is a recommendation to promote the learning of both oral and sign language. Parents for the deaf children should work hand in glove with the school to enhance their children to benefit from both ends, that is, the school and at home.
The document discusses the benefits of learning and using the English language. It notes that English is widely spoken globally and can improve students' communication skills and confidence when speaking. Some of the key benefits mentioned include increased job and educational opportunities internationally, the ability to socialize and travel more easily in English-speaking places, and access to global media and entertainment in English. The document also explores different varieties of English and considers which may be most useful depending on a learner's goals and location.
The World Dyslexia Forum brought together over 250 delegates from 90 countries to discuss research findings and recommendations regarding dyslexia. Key findings included:
1) Better teacher training is needed in effective reading and writing instruction methods, including structured, explicit, and multisensory teaching.
2) Dyslexia is a lifelong neurological difference that can lead to isolation, emotional issues, and lower education and career attainment if not properly addressed.
3) Assistive technologies help those with dyslexia, but their design and teachers' training in their use could be improved.

The ear is the part of the body that is used for hearing. Information about the
world is acquired through hearing. Anybody that hears nothing around him, no
matter how loud the sound is should be seen as having ear problem. It is a condition
or rather an impairment which is a physical, observable condition of tissue that can
affect the function of the organ system of which that tissue is a part. Hearing
impairment is a disability that can affect the effective functioning of the total
personality no matter the period of onset. Among the earliest attempt to define
hearing impaired was the one made by the committee of Nomenclature of the
conference of Executives of American schools for the deaf (1938) which says
that the deaf are those people in whom the sense of hearing is non-functioning for
the ordinary purpose of life. According to them also, the hard-of-hearing can be
defined as those in whom the sense of hearing although defective is functional with
or without a hearing aid.
1. The document discusses the process of learning American Sign Language (ASL) and factors that influence mastery, such as age of exposure.
2. Studies have shown that native and early learners acquire ASL grammar more fluently and complexly than late learners.
3. The oral approach to teaching deaf children to speak has been shown to only work for mildly hearing-impaired children and fails for severely hearing-impaired children.
This document provides an overview of key information teachers should know about hearing loss. It discusses the varying degrees of hearing loss and their impact. It also covers how individuals with hearing loss may identify themselves, the types of support and accommodations students may need, and resources available for teachers and students. Sign language and assistive technology like hearing aids and FM systems are addressed. The importance of recognizing individual student needs and putting the student first is emphasized throughout.
This document summarizes a research study conducted in Tanzania from 2013-2015 that examined the language environment of babies in their first year. The study was conducted across five districts in Tanzania and involved over 1,000 families. The study found that mothers in Tanzania do not typically talk to their babies much in the first year. However, international research shows that talking to babies from birth is critically important for brain development and future educational success. Talking and responding to babies helps encourage communication and language development. The quality of interaction between caregiver and infant is more important than just time spent together. Good early language skills are linked to better literacy, academic performance, employment opportunities, and reduced poverty and crime rates.
Deaf studies is an interdisciplinary academic field that examines deaf culture, sign language, the history and experiences of deaf individuals, and how to work with those who are deaf or hard of hearing. It includes the study of deaf culture, language, history, experiences, perspectives, and the challenges faced by deaf people. The goal is to understand deaf individuals and communities outside of pathological frameworks and instead focus on the sociological, historical, and linguistic aspects of deafness. Studying deaf studies prepares people to support and work with those who are deaf or hard of hearing.
This document discusses modifying learning and assessment techniques to accommodate students with hearing impairment. It outlines several challenges faced by students with hearing impairment including language deprivation affecting language processing, comprehension, and production. This lag in language development affects literacy acquisition and educational outcomes. The document recommends classroom accommodations like ensuring the teacher directly faces students and speaks clearly, as well as providing materials in advance. It suggests modifying assessment techniques for students with hearing impairment by allowing extra time, providing questions in print, and altering response requirements without changing content.

Children with Hearing Impairment and Their Difficulties in Learning in School...ijtsrd
This study assessed some challenges faced by children with hearing impairment in acquiring the knowledge needed to make progress in school and community environments. It had as objectives to investigate the influence of family knowledge of sign language on academic assistance before and after enrolment in school, the history of hearing impairment in the family and its influence on the acquisition of the sign language skill by learners with hearing impairment before enrolment in school, check the perception of the learners about the pedagogic approaches used to teach and the challenges faced in class. The study was both a survey and qualitative and made use of questionnaires and single group quasi experimental designs respectively. A sample of 17 students from Buea School for the Deaf constituted the population of the study. A 7 cluster 34 items questionnaire was used to collect some data while some data was collected experimentally. Data was analyzed with the use of descriptive statistics percentages and means and inferential statistics Chi Square test . The results from analysis indicated that, there was a significant difference in performance between the students with background knowledge in sign language at home and who also received academic assistance at home and those who did not have some background knowledge of sign language before enrolment in school. The students approved the learning approaches used by their teachers and were comfortable in class hence faced minimal challenges in class. There was also a significant improvement between those in the experimental group who received the treatment and those in the control group who did not. This was indicative that with proper training and education, these learners with hearing impairment could achieve significantly in their academics.

Chapter I
The Problem and It’s Setting
Introduction
The definition of hearing loss is not the same for everybody and the
different degrees of hearing loss are divided into categories. The most
common categories of hearing loss classifications are mild hearing loss,
moderate hearing loss, severe hearing loss and profound hearing loss
(Martini, 1996). Hearing loss refers to a diminished ability to hear sounds like
other people do (Nordqvist, 2017).
According to Baumeister (1997), identity is the representation of the
self. The self is a social construction because we develop a sense of who and
what we are by observing and interpreting the responses of others (Crocker &
Quinn, 2000). Therefore, the development of one's identity is a socially
constructed process, which emerges through present and past experiences
and interactions between oneself and the surrounding social environment
(Baumeister, 1997; Grotevant, 1992; Harter, 1997; Kent & Smith, in
press; Stinson & Whitmire, 2000).
In particular, if deaf children are raised within a family and educated in a
school environment where they interact with Deaf adults and deaf peers and
communicate in sign language, they are likely to get immersed in the Deaf
culture. If deaf children are raised within a family and educated in a school
environment where they interact with hearing adults and peers via oral means
of communication, they are likely to get conditioned by a hearing culture.
Sometimes, deaf persons may develop a bicultural identity and feel
comfortable and competent within both the Deaf and the hearing worlds. Other
times, though, deaf persons may develop a marginal identity, namely, when
they do not feel particularly strong about a particular culture or feel
uncomfortable and not well accepted within the deaf or the hearing world
(Andrews, Leigh, & Weiner, 2004; Bat-Chava, 2000; Foster & Kinuthia,
2003; Glickman, 1996; Israelite, Ower, & Goldstein, 2002; Leigh,
7. 7
1999; Maxwell-McCaw, 2001; Maxwell-McCaw, Leigh, & Marcus,
2000; Padden, 1998).
That is why SPED (Special Education) centers are being established for
the sake of the students with special needs, particularly, the deaf community.
Background of the Study
The philosophy of Centro Fidei School is “A Christian faith-centered
community committed to academic excellence and genuine service to
humanity.” It envisions to educate and nurture diverse young children to
become excellent in academics and exemplary in character with sense of
responsibility to their fellowmen, to our country and to the Christian faith. It
commits that they will provide relevant lifelong educational opportunities
designed towards the holistic development of all stakeholders through quality
teaching and a responsive learning environment.
“Our SPED Center is named after the Venerable Antonietta
Meo, affectionately called ‘Nennolina’, who was born in Rome on December
15th of the year 1930. At six years old, osteosarcoma forces her left leg to be
amputated. Already at that age, she had a concept of the value of suffering
that was incomprehensible without the grace of God. In her short life, she
exemplified the Christian virtues of Faith, Hope and Charity, offering her
suffering to Christ. These same virtues that all of us aspire for lead us to
dedicate our center to her and all of God's children who enter our doors.”
(Narciso, 2015).
The Nennolina SPED Center at Centro Fidei School caters multi-grade
H.I., multi-H.I. 6&7, and grades 11 & 12 Technical-Vocational-Livelihood
Track.

Statement of the Problem
The communication barrier between hearing impaired students and
hearing people at Centro Fidei School – Nennolina SPED Cenrter.
To divide and decrease the broadness of the research problem, the
researchers have conducted extraction of the following sub-problems:
1. How should the hearing people communicate with the hearing
impaired students and vice versa?
2. How should the teachers convey the lesson to the hearing impaired
students?
3. What are ways to communicate effectively with the hearing impaired
students?
4. How do the hearing impaired students socialize with the regular
hearing students?
Significance of the Study
Hearing impairment is a partial or total inability to hear, hearing loss
may occur in one or both ears it can be categorize as mild, moderate,
moderate- severe, severe, or profound. Studying the lives of deaf individuals
and learn how to communicate to them using sign language. Knowing how
they deal with people around them. Deaf or hearing impaired people have a
very rich and diverse background to share with you. Learning American Sign
Language (ASL) or Filipino Sign Language (FSL) powers up your executive
functions the processes you undertake for solving problems, planning, and
other mentally demanding tasks in addition to having a heightened ability to
monitor your environment and it is useful in any situation.
This is also a very good skill in business setting because you never
know who you’ll come across. It’s always nice to meet new people. To be able
to connect with someone through their language is a wonderful thing. You can
also use sign language as a way to communicate with someone in a loud
room. Instead of shouting your lungs out, you can sign. You can use it
9. 9
whenever you go. It’s a benefit of learning the beautiful language of ASL or
FSL.
To the students and teachers as readers, this study is most likely to
open and let them discover how diverse the world of deaf community is. It also
will influence the readers to learn sign language and be able to converse with
deaf people around them.
To the deaf people, this study will be a tool on which their world of
communication may be discovered by the regular people and will help them to
build up their confidence when in comes to regular settings.
To the future researchers, this study will help them understand more
and make the topic more complex.
Scope & Limitation
The research was conducted to determine if there is a communication
barrier between hearing impaired students and hearing people at Centro Fidei
School – Nennolina SPED Center based from the observations from the work
immersion activity.
The persons being observed in the study are the hearing impaired
students and the hearing people of Centro Fidei School on the time scale of
January to February 2018.

Chapter II
Research Methodology
Research Design
The researchers used the descriptive research method for this study.
Descriptive Research Method stated that it is involves gathering data that
describe events and then organizes, tabulates, depicts, and describes the
data collection (Glass & Hopkins 1984) while Borg & Gall (1989) found that
descriptive studies are aimed at finding out “what is”, so observational and
survey methods are frequently used to collect descriptive data. In addition,
There are three main purposes of research are to describe, explain, and
validate exploration, and serves to organize the findings in order to fit them
with explanations, and then test or validate those explanations (Krathwohl ,
1993). According to Trochim (2005), research design “provides the glue that
holds the research project together. A design is used to structure the research,
to show how all of the major parts of the research project work together to try
to address the central research questions.”
Bes and Kahn (2007) have explained that the term “descriptive
research” has often been used incorrectly to describe the three types of
investigation that are different. Perhaps their superficial similarities have
obscured their difference. Each of them employs the process of disciplined
inquiry through the gathering and analysis of empirical data and each attempts
to develop knowledge. To be done competently, each requires the expertise of
the careful and systematic investigator. A brief explanation may serve to put
each in proper perspective.
Dr. Y.P Aggarwal (2008) descriptive research is devoted to the
gathering of information about prevailing conditions or situations for the
purpose of description and interpretation. This type of research method is not
simply amassing and tabulating facts but includes proper analyses,
interpretation, comparisons, identification of trends and relationships (Dr. Y.P
Aggarwal 2008). Descriptive research often illustrates a relevant but not
12. 12
quantified topic involving well-focused research question. Once the research
topic is identified, the research design is determined, the protocol is fully
developed, and a pilot study is undertaken. Testing instruments and making
adjustment before instigating a major study helps to ensure that data collection
is efficient and successful (Monsen and Horn, p. 5).
Descriptive research is fact-finding with adequate interpretation. The
descriptive method is something more and beyond just data-gathering; the
later is not reflective thinking nor research. The true meaning of the data
collected should be reported from the point of view of the objectives and the
basic assumption of the project under way. This follows logically after careful
classification of data. Fats obtained may be accurate expressions of central
tendency, or deviation, or of correlation; but the report is not research unless
discussion of those data is not carried up to level of adequate interpretation.
Data must be subjected to the thinking process in terms of ordered reasoning
(Aquino pp.7-8).
According to Manuel and Mendel (p.25) Descriptive research describes
what is. It involves the description, recording, analysis, and interpretation of
the present nature, composition or processes of phenomena. The focus is on
prevailing conditions, or how a person, group, or thing behaves or functions in
the present. It often involves some type of comparison or contrast. Calderon
(2008) said, as cited by Alberto et al (2011), descriptive method is also known
as statistical research, it describes data and characteristics about the
population or phenomenon being studied. This research method is used for
frequencies, averages and other statistical calculations. Often the best
approach prior to writing descriptive research is conducting a survey
investigation.
13. 13
Research Instrument and Techniques
The researchers observed the environment and searched for possible
phenomena to be solved. They also used the insights of the hearing teachers
regarding the deaf students’ performance.
14. 14
Chapter III
Result, Analysis, and Discussion
1. How should the hearing people communicate with the hearing
impaired students and vice versa?
The daily basis and means of communication of both deaf and hearing
communities rely on the use of sign language. Some of the deaf students are
able to lip read and are patient when it comes to explaining what they want to
convey. If one is not familiar of a sign, they will spell it out for the sake of
understanding. Otherwise, both gain benefits from each other, as the hearing
people are being familiarized with sign language and vice versa, the
vocabulary of deaf expands.
Socrates suggested, during the 5th century BC, “if we hadn’t a voice of a
tongue, and wanted to express things to one another, wouldn’t we try to make
signs by moving our hands, head, and the rest of our body, just as dumb
people do at present?” What Socrates suggested expressed that sign
language existed even in the historic times.
Sign language according to Perlmutter, “During most of the 20th
century, no one really knew. Not even Deaf people who used sign language in
their daily lives knew what it was. Those who noticed that many thoughts are
expressed differently in sign and in English assumed that sign was an
ungrammatical form of English. Most Americans thought it was a way to
express English words with signs—a substitute for speech. As the truth came
to light in the second half of the 20th century, it surprised everyone.”
It doesn’t mean that if one can’t sign means he cannot communicate
with the deaf people, as well. Allan (2017) suggested that one should at least
get the attention of the deaf. In this case, a hearing person can be able to
express what he wanted to say. One must let them lead the conversation, for
his own adjustment on how the deaf people are comfortable. Always be
15. 15
reminded of keeping in the vision of a deaf because their eyes speak for their
thoughts. Other deaf people are able to lip read so it is fine for one to speak
while conversing with them. The use of gestures and body movements gives a
conversation life and in this case, even if one is not able to sign fluently, a deaf
person can be able to pick up the idea of what the hearing person is trying to
deliver.
2. How should the teachers convey the lesson to the hearing
impaired students?
Most of the faculty members on the H.I. department are hearing
impaired volunteer teachers. Since most teachers are deaf, as well, the means
of transmission of knowledge is well delivered. Both teachers and students
understand what the lessons mean and what to express.
Using power point presentations, the students are able to catch up on
the lessons they are studying. Although there are hearing teachers, they still
are able to deliver what they wanted the students need to learn by the help of
the use of the said power point presentations.
A lack or loss of hearing can affect a child’s learning progress,
particularly in the understanding and production of spoken language. While
many theories have emerged over the years as to which approach is most
effective, experts agree that the teaching method should adhere to the
individual student’s capabilities, needs and personality. The most common
educational approaches include: (1) Bilingual-Bicultural: In this
approach, American Sign Language is the only method used in the classroom.
Traditional English is taught through exposure to printed words on paper; (2)
Auditory/Oral: This teaching approach does not use sign language, but instead
teaches the English Language through residual hearing and speech; and (3)
16. 16
Total Communication: This method combines auditory and visual
communication for instruction. A combination of sign systems can be used,
including American Sign Language, signed English, speech and sign language
used simultaneously, cued speech and/or other communication methods.
The classroom environment itself can also determine the success of a
deaf student’s learning abilities, and some options for deaf education include:
(1) Day schools; (2) Early intervention and preschool programs; (3) Residential
schools for the deaf; (4) Self-contained classrooms; (5) Mainstreaming and
inclusion in general education settings; and (6) Home school environment.
The environment and basic methods selected for students with a
hearing loss should be chosen based on the student’s personality and
individual needs, but each factor should incorporate the student’s capabilities
to reach the highest level of success. Modern techniques for students with a
hearing loss include: (1) Proper Classroom Considerations – students with
hearing loss require a modified classroom, which should incorporate well-
designed acoustics (for maximum sound production), little distractive noise,
and proper lighting for visuals. Each student should have a clear view of all
visuals as well as the instructor; (2) Use of an Interpreter – many classrooms
with deaf students who sign incorporate an interpreter for easier translation of
material. Deaf students, who have grown up with sign language, should have
sign language included in their daily educational life; (3) Assistive Technical
Capabilities – years of research and development have provided educators
with wonderful tools for maximizing auditory abilities for those students with
some degree of hearing including: FM Systems which can project sound from
an instructor’s microphone; C-Print which is a speech-to-text computer
system; A speech synthesizer which converts a typed word into speech
format; and Personal amplification systems.
17. 17
Many opportunities exist for deaf education training and certification,
and an educator’s responsibility is to be prepared for his or her students’
individual needs. For teachers of students with hearing loss, the right
adjustments to the classroom environment coupled with advanced teaching
methods can mean the difference between a student’s success and
failure(cited: https://online.sju.edu/graduate/masters-special-
education/resources/articles/modern-teaching-techniques-for-deaf-students).
3. What are ways to communicate effectively with the H.I students?
Although writing on white board or papers as a medium of
communication is effective, the use of sign language is highly encouraged by
the researchers because the deaf can express themselves even more by the
use of sign language.
The easiest way is to known and be familiarize the alphabets of the
American sign language (ASL) so that you can be able to express your
thoughts. The students themselves will sign a particular word you finger
spelled.
According to Bronski (2015), Helen Keller once said, “Blindness
separates us from things, but deafness separates us from people.” Perkins
provides services to many people who have both vision and hearing loss, and
our educators and experts know that having an effective conversation with any
individual is easier when you are genuinely engaged and show respect. By
following these tips, you too can more effectively and gracefully communicate
with people who are deaf.
Secure the person’s attention. Make sure you have the person’s full
attention before you start to speak, otherwise they may miss part of what
you’re saying. You can do this with a wave or a light touch on the shoulder.
18. 18
Face the person. Look directly at the person you are talking to and
maintain eye contact, even if they have an interpreter who translates your
speech into sign language. You are having a conversation with them; the
interpreter is simply a facilitator. Also, don’t walk away or turn while you are
speaking.
If the person can read lips, keep the light in front of you. If you’re
standing in front of a sunny window, or if a bright light is behind you, your face
will be in shadow. That makes it harder for someone who is deaf to see your
lips, facial expressions and other conversational cues. If necessary, move so
you face the light.
If the person does not understand you, rephrase your message instead
of repeating it. Speaking loudly doesn’t necessarily help, as louder volume can
distort words. You can also use pen and paper to enhance understanding.
Use body language and facial expression to augment your
message. But don’t exaggerate or overemphasize lip movement.
Use your mouth only for talking. Gum chewing, smoking or even
nibbling on a pencil while talking makes it more difficult to see your lips and
therefore what you’re saying. Likewise, keep your hands away from your
mouth.
If the person has some hearing, try to eliminate background noises like
televisions or music. If you’re in a group, make sure only one person is talking
at a time. If there are multiple conversations going on it can be difficult for
someone who is hard of hearing to follow, so try to have one general
conversation instead of multiple conversations.
Do not assume the person knows sign language just because they are
Deaf. There are many ways for people who are hard of hearing to
communicate. Sign language is only one of them. You can ask what type of
communication method they prefer.
If the phone rings or there is some other interruption, let them
know. Someone who is completely deaf may not notice the interruption and
may be unaware of what distracted you. Keep them in the loop.
19. 19
Include them in conversations, even if it takes more effort. The joy of
humanity is connecting with other people. So even if it takes a little time or
extra effort, bring someone who is deaf into the conversation. You might learn
something interesting.
4. How do the hearing impaired students socialize with the regular
hearing students?
Deaf people do what the hearing people can do except hear. They are
chatting with the hearing students normally like how regular people talk to
each other on their everyday lives. They socialize with hearing students
actively and participate on the everyday setting of each other.
Members of the Deaf community tend to view deafness as a difference
in human experience rather than a disability or disease (Ladd & Paddy,
2003). Many members take pride in their Deaf identity (Lane, et.al, 2011).
Deaf people, in the sense of a community or culture, can then be seen as
a minority group, and therefore some who are a part of this community may
feel misunderstood by those who don't know sign language.
Deaf people keep each other informed of what is going on in one's
environment. It is common to provide detailed information when leaving early
or arriving late; withholding such information may be considered rude. They
may be more direct or blunt than their hearing counterparts. When giving
introductions, Deaf people typically try to find common ground; since their
community is relatively small, Deaf people usually know some other Deaf
people in common. "The search for connections is the search for
connectedness." (Mindess & Anna, 2006).

Chapter IV
Summary, Conclusion, and Recommendation
Summary
This study was conducted to know if there is a communication barrier in
the Centro Fidei School (CFS). Descriptive Observation is used for the
detailed and further understanding it, the researcher conducted a observation
to all the facilities and workers of the said school, to sum up all the data
obtained, the school should employ education, that has the capability to teach
and through it can eradicate the communication barrier. The school still need
additional teachers that has the wok antiques that is needed.
And the inability to hire well-equip educators to set the standards
among the schools who are offering SPED curriculums among the minority
group.
Conclusion
The researchers therefore conclude that:
1) the means of communication of where both meaning and deaf is
mutualism where benefits are gained from each other;
2) the lessons are conveyed properly even if the teacher is either
hearing person or hearing impaired person, both give the same type of
service;
3) the best way to communicate effectively with Hearing Impaired
students is use of sign language in the American Sign Language (ASL) as it is
the worldwide used sign language, and for us to express our thoughts easily
and for them it is the easiest to understand it as well; and
4) the deaf people communicate and socialize with hearing students
actively and participate on the everyday setting with each other.
21. 21
Recommendation
To the students and teachers as readers, the researchers highly
recommend to learn sign language and try to communicate with the deaf
community. They might be the voice the deaf people wanted to have.
To the deaf people, the researchers recommend to continue teaching
the hearing people in using the sign language, in that scene, more will
understand your insights.
The researchers would like to recommend future researchers to
create another research about the same topic to fully understand that there is
no communication barrier between hearing people and hearing impaired
people.
The research followed the time frame of the second semester of S.Y.
2017-2018. Results would be more credible if the research followed a longer
time frame.
