Special
School for the Hearing Impaired
Hearing Impaired : This Project was running from 2003-2007 & these children were trained in regular academies & all of them were integrated in regular schools or impaired schools. |
The spirit behind this is strong belief that the deaf are not dumb.They
become dumb because of our negligence. If proper intervention is
provided at the right time they can become normal individuals like
any one of us. Today there are 54 children are in the hostel studying
in classes from pre primary to III standard .Two classes are equipped
with group hearing aid system and speech therapy is given to each
child individually. They will not be dumb any more if speech therapy
and Hearing Aid is given at right time.
WE
TO CAN LISTEN NOT THROUGH OUR EARS BUT THROUGH OUR HEARTS.
According to WHO a hearing impaired person is someone who is not
able to hear sound at threshold level of 81 decibels (ISO) or greater
or inability to understand even shouted voice. Hearing Impairment
causes problems in communication. Hearing Impaired child needs to
spend considerable time on learning speech and language. The main
problem in the education of Hearing Impaired child arises from the
child's inability to communicate effectively. This can overcome partly
by hearing aids.
The
oral –Aural (lip reading and listening) used in our school
as mode of communication and we use some improvised signs and gestures
for communication with the Hearing Impaired children.
