Lipreading assessment tool for Romanian hearing-impaired primary school children

Eliza-Magdalena ȘEULEANU, Ioana-Letiția ȘERBAN, Andrea HATHAZI
Abstract

Lipreading abilities have been investigated in numerous studies over the years, both in hearing-impaired/Deaf and hearing population. The paper presents an overview of the tests developed by several researchers in order to examine lipreading abilities in children and adults, both hearing and hearing-impaired or Deaf. The main elements which were integrated in these tests are discussed and underlined for the purpose of constructing a relevant lipreading test for Romanian hearing-impaired/ Deaf children in primary schools. The structure of the test is based on literature findings regarding the efficiency of other tests’ results depending on their components (subtests).

Dezvoltarea abilităţilor de comunicare printr-un program de intervenţie bazat pe LSR (Limba Semnelor Române) şi simboluri grafice

Developing the communication skills through an intervention program based on LSR (Romanian Sign Language) and graphic symbols

Ioana TUFAR
Abstract

The aim of this study is to create and to assess the efficiency of an intervention program based on Sign language and graphic symbols. The research had a comparative design pre-post-follow-up intervention. The participants to the program were deafblind/MSI students and the data proved there were significant differences between the pre-intervention, post-intervention and follow-up stage at the sign language level and at the graphic symbols acquired by the students.
