A longitudinal study was conducted of 139 children with severe and profound hearing losses. The children were between 3 and 5 years of age at the commencement of the 4-year study. The relationship of several background and educational variables with the linguistic, academic, and social development of the children was investigated. Age, hearing loss, and intelligence were related to most of the dependent measures. Relationships involving communication mode (auditory/oral vs. total communication) varied with the measure being considered. The variable of program type (individual vs. group) interacted with the degree of hearing loss and with communication mode. Although early intervention was related to certain dependent measures, no relationships were found that involved direct instruction by parents or integration.

Attention Deficit Hyperactive Disorder (ADHD) is a common neuropsychological disorder. Current study focused on identifying ADHD among Hearing Impaired Disorder (HIC) and measuring its impact upon academic achievements of HIC. The study also found out the relationship of ADHD with degree of hearing loss. The target population of the study was all Government institutions of special education for HIC of Southern Punjab. 701 students and 292 parents of HIC participated in the study. Data collection tool was adopted from Diagnostic Statistical Manual (DSM-5) of Mental Disorder (Fifth Edition). One way ANOVA was applied to analyze collected data. ADHD (predominant impulsivity) was found 48% and ADHD (predominant inattention) was recorded 29%. Degree of hearing loss has no relation with ADHD. The ratio of ADHD was found high in males as compared to females HIC. Screening services, skilled staff and proper guidance to parents was recommended to deal students with ADHD.

The purpose of this study was to investigate variables affecting visual creativity of 31 hearing-impaired children through the medium of computer graphics. These children ranged in age from 8.0 to 15.9 yr. 16 subjects attended total-communication educational programs and 15 subjects attended aural/oral classes. Each subject worked independently at a computer terminal equipped with a graphics menu developed for a subject's use. Hardcopy printouts of four images per subject were evaluated for creativity, aesthetics, and imagery. Analysis suggested that creativity among hearing-impaired children is influenced by age and communication mode used in the educational setting.

Complimenting the geoscience examples reviewed in the Online Science Strategies section of this book, our focus in Chapter 11 is to present a more discipline-centered review of representative published examples from the geosciences. Our review takes account of courses, virtual fieldtrips, virtual laboratories, collaboration, virtual science museums and the relationship of the emerging cyberinfrastructure to the geosciences. Our goal is to provide the reader with a diversity of models and resources to consider in the development of new online or blended geoscience courses or to support the systematic improvement of existing ones. Additionally, our impetus here is to highlight the particular design requirements to achieve learning outcomes in an online science course, such as the design of practical work. Our discussion begins with a review of recent trends in undergraduate geoscience education.
