STRATEGIES FOR THE INCLUSION OF HEARING IMPAIRED PEOPLE
Abstract:
Selection and proper orientation of hearing impaired children in special educational
structures and inclusive school is one of the main concerns of specialists in the field of special
psychopedagogy. The aims of this endeavour are either to create relatively homogeneous collectives of
students (classes, groups), allowing for individual, differentiated treatment in the corrective process
within special education programmes, or to include children with hearing impairments in mainstream
classes whenever possible. Orientation must be preceded by early detection, followed by operative
screening. Both the detection and differentiation of children with hearing impairments and their
selection and classification in the appropriate category of disability, are part of the so-called
phenomenon of external selection, that should be done with utmost proficiency, promptness, and interest.
