Using Software Tools To Teach Deaf Children

Software and e-learning tools have massive potential in teaching deaf or hard-of-hearing children if they are adapted for full accessibility. With software tools, deaf children can hear to learn new vocabulary, numeracy and literacy skills, phonics and social skills in a structured way. Strategic video games can be used by deaf teens to learn to

Early Spoken Language Teaching At Home

Deaf children don’t absorb spoken vocabulary or language as their hearing peers do. Instead, their parents, guardians and/or carers are responsible for this early learning. Spoken language acquisition at an early age is crucial for deaf infants with digital hearing-devices, especially in Irish households where both parents can work outside the home.

Educational Supports for Deaf Children in Ireland

No two deaf children are the same: their educational experience reflects their deafness, hearing devices worn, family background, infant language intervention and their personality. Over 3,370 deaf children in Ireland (90%) are mainstream-educated, with under 4% using sign language (NCSE, 2011). Spoken language for deaf children is chosen by 89% to 95% of hearing families in the US (Teresa

Explaining Deafness: Concept Books For Children

Explaining hearing-devices to children (a deaf child, siblings, family, friends or peers) can be a challenge in making sure everyone understands the facts. Concept books are great for explaining to all children the specific frustrations and issues deaf children can experience. Understanding is increased, with the deaf child realising others are in their position, and hearing children

Hearing Assistance Entitlements for Deaf Children

Certain health services are provided free of charge to children in Ireland, regardless of whether their parents hold a medical card.
