The hearing impaired child in a "normal" secondary school

Abstract

This paper explores the integration of hearing-impaired children into mainstream secondary schools. It discusses the potential social benefits of integration, such as improved social skills and maturity through interaction with hearing peers. However, it also highlights the challenges these students face, including communication difficulties, emotional stability issues, and social isolation. Teachers need to understand and support the unique needs of hearing-impaired students. While integration can lead to social development and better preparation for life in the hearing world, it can also result in significant loneliness and isolation if not managed properly.
