The document discusses three types of auditory impairments: deafness, hearing impairment, and deaf-blindness. It provides details on each type, including definitions and characteristics. It also discusses American Sign Language and challenges students with hearing impairments may face in areas like getting sound, remembering, ascribing meaning, and linking with other brain centers. Tips and possible adjustments are provided to address each potential problem area.

There are three types of auditory impairments; each is a separate
special education category:
Deafness Hearing impairment Deaf-blindness DEAFNESS Temporary or permanent impairment or loss of hearing.
HEARING IMPAIRMENT
• A hearing impairment or hearing loss is a full or partial
decrease in the ability to detect or understand sounds.
DEAF-BLINDNESS
means a combination of hearing and visual impairments which
causes such severe communication and other developmental and educational needs that they cannot be accommodated in special education programs solely for children with deafness or children with blindness. One of the most common sign languages is based upon hand gestures providing a language structure, called AMERICAN SIGN LANGUAGE, AMESLAN, or ASL. This system approximates but does not intend to duplicate the syntax (arrangements of words in sentences) or grammar or Standard English.
