The role of the private school in the rehabilitation Of hearing-impaired children Field study at a school for deaf children in the state of Guelma

Abstract

Hearing-impaired children are one of the groups that face issues and difficulties in daily life, especially in the stage of education, as a result of their loss of hearing and difficulty in learning language and speech, which makes them isolated from their surroundings, and thus their experience in life is limited.

Therefore, this study tried to identify the role of the private school in rehabilitating hearing impaired children, where a field study was conducted on a purposive sample of 15 individuals represented by teaching staff and supervisors in providing various services at the School for deaf children in the state of Guelma

 The results of the study revealed that although the services and rehabilitation training programs adopted in the private school have contributed to the rehabilitation of hearing impaired children, their rehabilitation does not fall on the shoulders of the private school alone, but needs the cooperation of deaf students' parents with this school based on a clear strategy within the plans of various ministries and concerned authorities, which helps to achieve the social and professional integration of deaf children.
