10. Problem for deaf children
Conversing :- India Sign Language is the way that
many deaf Children talk with each other. Many of the
Deaf in our country consider India Sign Language to
be their primary language and think of English as a
"second language." In India Sign Language (ISL)
there are signs for most words. Words that don't have
a sign are "finger spelled" using a group of signs called
the "manual alphabet" which represent individual
letters.
Just like hearing Children, the Deaf like to talk with others. Depending on who
the Deaf are talking with, conversation can be difficult for them. If two deaf
Children are signing to each other, there isn't a problem, but if a hearing children
and a deaf children are trying to communicate and the hearing children doesn't
know sign, or much about the Deaf community, there can be a communication
problem. When the deaf children goes up to the hearing children, and starts
signing to communicate the hearing children might look away in disgust because
of their lack of learning about the Deaf community

11. I. Children who are deaf or hard of hearing typically come to school with
an impoverished vocabulary when compared to children who can hear.
II. You need to determine where on the reading subjects your child is
experiencing problems.
III. Students with hearing loss have problems at all the layers of
vocabulary knowledge.
IV. Teach children with hearing loss a broader vocabulary.
V. Children who are deaf or hard of hearing need a deeper vocabulary:
Multiple meanings
VI. Children with hearing loss need to know figures of speech
VII. Deaf Children benefit from semantic approaches to vocabulary
instruction.
VIII. Deaf Children benefit from morphographemic vocabulary
instruction.
IX. One of the best ways to improve reading vocabulary is to read to and
read with a student.
X. Interpreters need to use conceptually accurate signs.

12. Watching Television
Deaf child and family enjoy T.V, just like
hearing family do. But if Deaf child can't
hear, the program will often not be
understandable. To help deaf Child
understand what the people on TV are
saying, they can use "closed captioning.“
Closed captions are words which are
printed out right on the TV picture. So the
words of actors in movies and the reporters
on the news are printed right on the screen,
either across the top or the bottom of the
screen where deaf child can read them.
Closed captions can come from a box which
is connected to the TV set, or from special
circuits inside the TV.

13. Door LightsSince the Deaf cannot
hear well -- or at all -- it
can be hard to tell when
the doorbell is ringing. A
"door light" will flash a
light when the doorbell
rings.
Also specially trained
silent light can alert a deaf
Children when a doorbell
rings.

21. Increase your own sign language skills in order
to teach a deaf child to read. The Indian Sign
Language (ISL) standard form of signing
provides a nationally recognized program of
hand signs that deaf children learn easily.
Work on your own signing skills, not only to
teach your child but also to communicate with
other deaf children that he will meet in future
schools, Villages and play environments.
Increase your child’s written vocabulary by adding new words daily. Repetition and
committing basic words to memory is the key to reading success for any child and
deaf children are no different in that manner. As you introduce new words, take the
time to refresh previous words and build a large written vocabulary.

22. Late. Nikhil Thapa from Darjeeling, age 8 years, died due to an Electric Shock on 17th
June 2011.
You can use this case study, but you have to highlight what went wrong in this case study
as you have told that parents do not tell them what to touch & What not.

23. Who is responsible for his death?
Could his life have been saved?
How?

24. Deaf – Mute?
means silent and without voice
Deaf – Dumb?
mean “silent
Hearing Impaired?
“hearing-impaired” is often viewed as negative
Deaf or Hard of hearing
“Deaf” right

25. Do you want right for deaf people
and children/ not dumb, not mute
and Hearing Impaired?
It is a common perception/ thinking of people to talk
about deaf and dumb, deaf and mute & Hearing
Impaired people and children. Deaf and dumb, deaf
and mute & hearing impaired are considered to be
one. But in reality these are many people who can be
hearing impaired but not speech impaired. We need
to superfluity talk about the rights of deaf children
and people.

26. Is it OK to use the term “deaf-mute”, “deaf
and dumb” or “hearing impaired” in
reference to a deaf person who can’t talk?
No, it’s no longer an acceptable term.
For many people, DEAF and HARD OF
HEARING are acceptable terms to use.
