Cognitive Abilities of Hard Heating Pupils and their Integration in Public Schools
Main Article Content
Abstract
The question of cognitive abilities of hard of hearing pupils is one of the most important problems encountered by surdopedagogy. Over the years various answers have been given to this question. Initially a hearing defect was identified with a lack of intellectual abilities, whereas studies conducted in recent years show that also in this population there are people with a high and very high intellectual potential.
The aim of the present article is to present modern studies of the intellectual abilities of hard of hearing pupils and to point to their consequences for educational integration of this group of pupils. The presented studies show that pupils with hearing defects generally have the potential that should allow them to function well in the intellectual sphere among their hearing coevals. However, the condition for success in the sphere of educational integration is aiding the hard of hearing pupil in a systematic and competent way, starting with very early years of his life.
