A study comparing the Vineland Adaptive Behavior Scales with the original Vineland Social Maturity Scale was conducted with a sample of 37 hearing-impaired children. A brief discussion of the literature showed a current lack of instrumentation for assessing adaptive behavior of such children. Correlations of scores on the two scales were significant and positive. Comparisons of mean standard scores indicated that the Social Maturity Scale yielded significantly higher standard scores than the Adaptive Behavior Scales.


Present study attempted to explore presence of social skills among hearing impaired students taking education from government special education schools and to compare different level of social skills based on different demographic variables. It is a descriptive study in nature and survey method is used to collect the data. Population of study is hearing impaired children living in division Faisalabad and Lahore. Sample of N=200 hearing impaired students are selected through convenient sampling technique. Responses of social skills are taken from mothers as mothers have better knowledge of proficiencies of their hearing impaired children’s social skills. Children’s age group was 05-20 years. Age range of mothers was 25-55 years. Social skills checklist was used to as tool of the study for collection of data. It is a mixed method approach and statistical measures were made via frequency distribution, t-test and ANOVA. Results of current study clearly depicted that 82% hearing impaired students have low level of social skills and 18% hearing impaired students have best level of social skills. Current study also find out that there is significant difference in social skills of students on the basis of living area and children age and there is no significant difference in presence of social skills in hearing impaired students based on mother’s working status (house wife and job holders) and mothers education level. Study also demonstrated that there was positive correlation among presence of social skills in hearing impaired students and their age. The study concluded that teachers should focus on individual differences while teaching social skills to hearing impaired children and should adopt different teaching methods and teaching strategies for every student. It was also recommended that job holder mothers should manage their time table and must spare their proper time for their special children to make them beneficial and socially adjusted child of community.

<p class="apa">This research tries to investigate the technical contribution on improving the social interaction of hearing-impaired children from low income families in Saudi Arabia. It compares the social interaction skills of hearing-impaired children who do and do not have access to IPads. To achieve the goals of the study; seventeen children aged five-years-old were given access for the first time to iPads to enhance their social skills.</p><p class="apa">The researcher downloaded 10 educational games on to the iPads and gave each family one iPad whom their child was required to play with the iPad for three hours daily. The researcher used the Child’s Social Interaction Scale CSIS as a pre- or post-application measurement to assess the hearing-impaired children’s social interaction skills.</p><p class="apa">Results of the study showed that hearing-impaired children can make all behaviours that are essential to successful social interaction. Also, these children become more sociable, saying thank you, apologising to others, following rules and waiting for a turn. In light of the results, the researcher recommended commercial companies who create games for children to pay attention to hearing-impaired children and develop techniques to help them play with these games in order to develop their interaction social skills alongside normally hearing children.</p>

social adaption, long-term relationships, and the development of cognition, emotion and personality in unique and important ways. Children with hearing impairment often have some degree of language and/or speech delay, which is a major factor affecting their social interaction with peers. The present research was aimed at the study of classroom social behavior of hearing impaired children at primary level. The research was descriptive and direct observation method was used to identify the positive and negative social behavior of hearing impaired children exhibited in the classroom and at playground. 50 hearing impaired children including male and female studying in classes I to V of special education centers for children with hearing impairment at Islamabad were selected randomly. A checklist was used to identify the social behavior. The items were developed on the indicators of classroom social behavior of hearing impaired children such as respect of elders, sharing, rebel, aggressive behavior, cooperation, fighting, calm and quiet, follow the instructions, teasing others, and friendly etc.On the basis of research findings it was concluded that most of hearing impaired children respect their elders, remain calm and quite during lesson, do not share their things with other students, do not rebel during lesson. Most of them cooperate with others during group activities, stay away from fighting during group activities, and follow the rules in playing group games. Some of them get angry when other students distract them from their studies, do not tease their friends. The male children immediately become frustrated when they can’t solve a problem and become aggressive (violent) when something goes against their will.It was recommended that creating awareness of classroom social behavior in hearing impaired children can change their behavior positively. Moreover, hearing impaired children should be motivated and encouraged to move in a positive social life.

This study attempted to maximize environmental language learning for four hearing-impaired children. The children's mothers were systematically trained to present specific language symbols to their children at home. An increase in meaningful use of these words was observed during therapy sessions. In addition, as the mothers began to generalize the language exposure strategies, an increase was observed in the children's use of words not specifically identified by the clinician as targets.

A commercial noise dose meter was used to estimate the equivalent noise dose received through high-gain hearing aids worn in a school for deaf children. There were no significant differences among nominal SSPL settings and all SSPL settings produced very high equivalent noise doses, although these are within the parameters of previous projections.
