Schemes, Facilities and Concessions for Person with Hearing Impairment Reflections and Awareness

In Latin, communication means to impart, share and make common the ability to communicate and to participate in communication sources on the giving and receiving of information language is central to everything we do. Both speech and language are parts of the larger process of communication. Due to difficulties in communication, speech and language, a large number of children with hearing impairment remain untouched by any sort of education. The facts and figures of children with hearing impairment are frightening. There are several reasons for poor educational level of so-called 'disabled' children in our country. Most of which are beyond the control of any individual. But lack of information on the parts of the parents and special educators is one of the main reasons. For an adult hearing impairment creates problems in maintaining an established lifestyle i.e. retaining a job and in preserving satisfying personal and social relationships. Programmes in habilitation and rehabilitation management seek to minimize such effects. Thus aural rehabilitation plays an important role in the life of persons with hearing impairment, but aural rehabilitation does not work automatically. The involvement of parents and special educators is essentially required.
