Look Who's Talking: A short guide for growth and learning in hearing impaired children
for use by parents and teachers.
I was contacted by a speech therapist named Serena Crincoli. He sent me a copy of this guide very useful, especially because there is also a party for the teachers. Serena has become available to send copies to the parents who contacted her by e-mail: scrincoli@libero.it
Some information for teachers:
The decision to include advice for teachers, speech therapists, stems from our experience of working in the school sector. We have the great fortune of having only a corridor separating us from the classes of our children, whether in kindergarten, primary or media. This gives us the opportunity to communicate daily with teachers and curriculum support as well as with other figures that make up the multidisciplinary team, providing our guidelines, responding to questions they may have and discuss the journeys made by children.
Unfortunately, in most cases the school non è in comunicazione con il logopedista del bambino sordo e spesso si trova impreparata a gestirlo nel contesto classe. Pertanto, senza la pretesa di insegnare il mestiere a nessuno, ma solo alla luce della nostra esperienza e delle varie situazioni di difficoltà scolastica in cui in tutti questi anni ci siamo trovate, abbiamo deciso di fornire alcune semplici indicazioni.
Le prime considerazioni da fare riguardano l’acustica dell’aula
Dobbiamo ricordare che la sordità è un deficit sensoriale che limita
Per gli insegnanti la ricezione degli stimoli uditivi e, benché il bambino indossi una tecnologia che riduca tale difficoltà, bisogna tener conto di alcuni aspetti tecnici.
- Il riflesso del suono and background noise are the main problems you may encounter in the classroom and which can be reduced with simple precautions:
- Reduce background noise (eg a classroom that faces the street, traffic and noise, is not preferable).
- Increase soft surfaces such as carpets and sound-absorbing rubber pads under the feet of chairs and desks.
- Reduce the distance between teacher and child. In this regard it would be appropriate at the desks were arranged in a horseshoe and that the child had the opportunity to change position depending on the various activities
Another important aspect concerns the attitude of teachers towards the deaf child and the possible strategies they can use to ensure that teaching methods are closer to its characteristics.
is why the next few pages we will talk directly to them.
