GLIMPSE IN THE WORLD OF DEAF PEOPLE: DEAFNESS AND DEAF EDUCATION
Keywords:
World of Deaf People, Deafness and Deaf Education
Abstract
This paper works on the definition of deafness, and who is considered as deaf. The first part of the work talks about the causes of deafness, distinguishing the congenital causes from the acquired causes. Then, the paper analyses the various impacts of hearing loss in the life of deaf people. The second part of the work discusses the issue of deaf education, emphasising the use of sign language as the key means for the development of deaf children literacy skills. The problem raised in this paper is the lack of appropriate knowledge of the mass population on the notion of special education and the needs of persons living with a handicap, especially deaf people, and the paper ends up discussing the issue of special education for deaf learners.
