Deaf children's educational abilities
deaf people have not been allowed to take control of their education in early childhood education
deaf teachers can help set up visual leaning environments by incorporating elements of deaf culture
Intelligence
Throughout history deaf people were thought to have less intelligence compared to hearing people and were concrete rather than abstract thinkers
concrete thinkers experience the world through familiar objects and events while abstract thinkers find principles in recurring events and solve problems
Language
language is more than just an avenue of thought
can be used to form new thoughts without having the experience with real objects and events
also provides a system to encode, organize, and remember their experiences
develop cognitive skills
visual
Simons (1987)
A study of Deaf Culture in an Urban American Deaf Community,
Deaf people use the channel of vision in face-to-face communication through ASL and other sign communication and use visual technology
Visual learners can be children who depend a lot on their eyes, deaf or hard-of-hearing children learning a sign language or deaf bimodal or bilingual using implants
Deaf individuals have increased peripheral vision
positive skill but can create distraction in the classroom
memory
Deaf children have a difficult time memorizing numbers and printed letters
are able to recognize unfamiliar faces and remember spatial and visual information
babies early abilities
learn language through ears,eyes, touch
constantly babble and make small gestures until age old enough to use spoken words and increase complexity
hearing and deaf babies have similar milestones
home language
homesigns are used in homes where sign is not known
Deaf children's parents who are hearing go for the speaking approach first
when speech therapy fails parents then discover sign
