1) Name and describe the three major educational approaches to teaching deaf and hard-of-hearing children.
For students who are deaf and hard of hearing teachers use the following approaches: oral/aural approach, auditory learning, speech reading, and cued speech.
In oral/aural approach, speech is essential as it forms the function with the hearing world. The training in producing and understanding speech and language is incorporated into virtually all aspects of the child’s education. Moreover, auditory, visual and tactile methods of input are frequently used.
In auditory learning, auditory training for young children with hearing loss begins by teaching the sound awareness. According to this approach, the focus is on teaching the child to …show more content…
How is PEC useful?
PECs is an acronym for Picture Exchange Communication System, a form of augmentative and alternative communication that teaches nonverbal users to successfully request highly motivating items and outcomes. PECS has been demonstrated to be effective with children with autism and other disabilities.
5) How does IDEA define multiple disabilities?
IDEA defines multiple disabilities as concomitant impairments (such as intellectual disability and blindness or orthopedic impairment), the combination of which causes such severe educational needs that these students cannot be accommodated in special education programs solely for one of the impairments. Multiple disabilities do not include deaf-blindness.
6) Define and give examples of 2 environmental risk conditions.
If there are no biological risk factors that could explain the causes of a disability, it is likely that environmental risk conditions have led to this. One example of an environmental risk condition might be poverty, child abuse and neglect; these factors may lead to mild intellectual disability. Another example could be the repeated exposure to loud sounds as a cause of noise-induced hearing …show more content…
The five major developmental areas/domains include: physical development, cognitive development, communication development, social- emotional development, and adaptive development.
The area of physical development includes gross and fine motor development. Gross motor development has to do will large muscle planning and coordination, such as walking while fine motor development addresses small muscle planning and coordination such as picking up a toy.
Cognitive development includes thinking and problem solving. Regarding communication development, we could divide this domain into expressive (ability to produce language) and receptive (ability to understand). This domain encompasses all forms of communicative development such as verbal and nonverbal responses, gestures, and actions.
Moreover, social-emotional development comprises meaningful interactions as well as understanding and communicating of the emotions of others. Children who are competent in social skills share toys, take turn, and cooperate with others. Lastly, adaptive development includes skills that are functional in everyday life such as dressing, eating, and
