For parents of hearing-impaired children, do they go to a general school or a special school? It’s really a difficult question to choose. On the one hand, they are worried that their children can’t keep up with the normal school, or even be bullied by other children as a different kind; on the other hand, because their children have hearing impairment, but they can’t hear anything at all, the deaf school lacks the environment of language stimulation, and they are worried that their children will gradually lose their language ability. So, are the children with residual hearing going to general school or special school? Let Jinghao listen to help you analyze it.

First of all, we can be sure that it is not easy to send children to school for the deaf. Xiaobian once practiced in the Department of hearing impairment of a special education school, and found that most of the children in the school have residual hearing, but as soon as the deaf children enter the school, the teachers of the school begin to teach sign language, and all the teachers and students in the school communicate in sign language. In such an environment, due to the lack of opportunities to receive language stimulation and the complete dependence on sign language communication, it is very unfavorable to the development of language.

It is encouraged by the Ministry of education of the people’s Republic of China and even a trend in the world for disabled children to attend regular classes. How about studying in regular class? Theoretically, returning to the mainstream society and communicating with normal people are conducive to the growth of disabled children. However, there are three requirements for deaf children to successfully attend regular classes:

One: the child has residual hearing and gets some intervention through wearing hearing aids or implanting cochlear implants. And carry out a considerable degree of language training, language really recovered, have language foundation, and have the same level of cognition as normal children of the same age


Second, receive teachers from regular schools, and pay more attention and care to these “special” children. In the teaching of classified teaching, on the premise of the same course, teaching material and progress as the normal students, we can provide individual guidance for the deaf children’s actual listening, language and thinking ability;

Third, parents should create a language environment to help their children digest and timely make up for the lessons they have left behind. Otherwise, “regular class reading” will become “mixed class reading”.

Therefore, parents and friends may consider the above three conditions. If there are enough conditions, it is suggested to choose regular classes so that children can better integrate into the mainstream society. If the time is not mature, don’t be reluctant, otherwise it will bring pressure to parents and cause psychological problems to children to a certain extent.
