PPT : Pupil Services and the Mental Health Needs of Students who are Deaf or Hard of Hearing
Content Inside :
*2,200 students, ages 3-21, identified with hearing loss in the public schools in the state of Wisconsin.
* 2/3 of these students are thought to be “hard of hearing” and 1/3 are considered “deaf”
* Hearing Loss Simulation – What would a hearing loss “look like”? What would it sound like?
*Impact of severe and profound hearing loss, when the child uses ASL on social emotional development
o Parents may not have the language skills to communicate effectively around the abstract concepts of emotional and interpersonal issues.
o Students face challenges in building close social relationships with peers and staff because of the inability to communicate in a common language.
o Students cannot communicate directly with their hearing peers – most must use an interpreter
o All these factors lead to ISOLATION
What are the issues?
* Impact of mild and moderate hearing loss – more subtle, yet equally important…
o Students miss out on conversations between others (containing important social information)
o Students miss social language cues – how to initiate a conversation, turn taking, etc.
o Misunderstandings are common
o Assumptions that hearing aids “fix” the problem and students “smile and nod” response
o These students will also cope with ISOLATION
Mental Health Challenges begin with a sense of isolation and result in a lack of:
* Success in building meaningful friendships
* Opportunities to build a healthy self-concept
* Ability to understand and manage conflict
* Opportunities to develop appropriate coping and problem-solving skills
