BY EXPERIENCE TO UNDERSTANDING – Project from EURO-CIU Czech member SUKI. With EURO-CIU help will be translated to several other languages.
The project focuses on the inclusion of hearing impaired children (age 6-12). We address teachers, who work on mainstream basic schools and who have a Hard of Hearing or Cochlear Implant child in their class. Our target is to create materials easily applicable in lessons that would help teachers to better understand and adequately respond to the needs of their pupils with 7 different brochures dedicated to different kinds of educational situations:
1- Being parent to a child with hearing impairment – How to start elementary school
2- Teacher of a child with a hearing impairment
3- Teaching assistant for a child with A hearing impairment
4- Foreign language teacher of a child with hearing impairment
5- Coach or PE Teacher of a child with a hearing impairment
6- A leisure educator of a child with hearing impairment
7- After-school teacher for a child with hearing impairment
Which one? Which is the best?
Therre are many questions… consult with experts and most importantly, with the child with hearing impairment, to choose the best school.
Depends on the level of your child’s communication, what schools you have in tour area, what the special education center recommends.
The decision’s been made, we’ve picked a school.
If the school is in your catchment area, it’s obliged to accept your child. If not, it’s up to the director of the school.
There is no subtitule for a personal encounter with a hearing impairment, because there is not a universal rule how to approach a child.
Every child is different and hears differently.
But one thing is certain, no hearing technology fully restores hearing.
Have you just found out that you have a child with a hearing impairment in your group?
Well Yes. How to manage it? is my lesson going to be any different?
It may or may not. It depends on the child’s level of communication.
Be aware that quality of speech of a child with good hearing aids or cochlear implants may be the same as that of his hearing peers.
But no hearing technology can replace healthy hearing.

Every child with a hearing impairment is different and needs a different level of support. You may even think yhat they don’t need anything at all, because the quality of his or her speech is comparable to that of their peers. However, you should need to know that even a child with good hearing aids or cochlear implants with a hearing impairment does not hear as well as their hearing friends.
Every child with a hearing impairment is different.
Even a child with good hearing aids or cochlear implants cannot hear as well as his hearing peers.
Children with hearing loss take longes to process auditory signals, listening is hardes work for them, and they can become tired easily.
Hearing aids and cochlear implants are technical devices thar can amplify the voice, bur they will amplify the person closest to user most.
