ED443G: Assistive Technology in Special Education
Dr. Jacqui Cyrus
October 16, 2008
The students will:
 Know definition of Deaf and Hard of Hearing.
 Know the historical context.
 List and explain the major causes of hearing loss.
 Discuss the concept of Deaf culture, and describe
its importance to the Deaf.
 List the major types of assistive technology
specifically designed for people with hearing
problems.
 Know some support groups or organizations.
 Definition of Deafness: Hearing impairment that
is so severe that the child is impaired in
processing linguistic information through
hearing, with or without amplification, that
adversely affects a child’s educational
performance.
 Hard of Hearing: (Hearing Impairment)
Impairment in hearing, whether permanent or
fluctuating, that adversely affects a child’s
educational performance but that is not included
under the definition of deafness.
 Nationally:
- Deafness and Hard of Hearing is a low
incidence disability for children affecting
about 0.14% of all students
 Locally:
- 38 % (60) of GPSS students identified
 Pedro Ponce de Leon (1520 - 1584) first teacher (Spanish
monk) to teach deaf students to read, write and speak.
 William Holder and John Wallis (1600’s) institute educational
programs in England for deaf, using writing and manual
communication to teach speech.
 Schools for deaf have been established by others in Europe.
Concept of special schools for deaf then came to America.
(1700’s)
 Thomas Hopkins Gallaudet studied in England and France;
started first special school for the deaf in the U.S.
 The French at the school started by Abbé Charles Michel de
l’Epée experimented with methods of manual communication,
mainly sign language.
 (1817) Gallaudet and Laurent Clerc (deaf and
well-known French educator of the deaf)
started the first American school for deaf
students in Hartford, Connecticut. (Many of
the Deaf children of Martha’s Vineyard
attended this residential school).
 Hearing trumpet made sounds a little louder.
 Advances and Batteries (during World War II
made battery-operated hearing aids possible
 Small hearing aid behind the ear were created.
(1950’s)
 Today’s versions used microchips to customize
sound amplification to the needs of the
individual.
 Are members of the Deaf community and are united by
Deaf culture.
 Culture rich in heritage and traditions
 American Sign Language (ASL) is the primary language
 Conductive hearing loss caused by blockage or damage to
outer or middle ear that prevents sound wave from traveling
to inner ear.
 Sensorineural hearing loss caused by damage to inner ear or
auditory nerve.
 Cause of hearing loss in children is unknown.
Four Most Common known causes:
 Heredity and Genetics
 Meningitis
 Otitis media (Ear infection)
 Noise
 Immunization
 Avoiding noises over 85 decibels (Lawn mower, garbage
truck, dance club, car stereo turned all the way up).
 Wearing ear plugs in places with loud noises (Ex. wood
working shops).
Four categories of assistive devices:
 Assistive listening devices
 Telecommunication devices
 Computerized speech-to-text translation
 Alerting devices
 Organization - American Speech-Language-Hearing Association
 Organization - Hearing Loss Association of America
 Organization - Children of Deaf Adults
 Organization - American Society for Deaf Children
 Organization - World Federation of the Deaf
 Organization - Hands & Voices
 It is a challenge for communication to take place when
hearing is limited or absent. It is vital that all children’s
hearing are tested at birth so that services for children and
families begin immediately. This helps the children with
language acquisition and cognitive development. The
variables that should be considered when teachers plan their
lessons is the amount of the students hearing loss, age of
onset, and type of loss.
 Do the GovGuam agencies accommodate
those who are deaf and hard of hearing?
 Do we have Deaf culture on Guam?
 How well do we accommodate our students
(deaf and hard of hearing) in the classroom
with assistive technology?
