Практическое занятие по теме: Surdopedagogics (стр. 7 )

Чтение с губ является важной частью обучения глухих и слабослышащих детей.  Для восприятия звучащей речи необходимо, чтобы говорящий и слушающий находились близко друг к другу. Для чтения с губ важна не только артикуляция звуков, но и движения лицевых мышц, языка и губ, положения челюсти и зубов.

Обучение чтению с губ рекомендуется всем детям с потерей слуха. Для слабослышащих чтение с губ  может быть поддержкой слуха, а для глухих  является его заменой.

Обучение чтению с губ – это долгий процесс включающий постоянное повторение. Широкое использование слуховых аппаратов не повлияло на важность этого метода для обучения глухих и слабослышащих.

PROBLEMS OF SOCIAL ADAPTATION OF THE DEAF AND THEIR IMPACT IN FAMILIES

One of the main complaints of deaf children and adults is the isolation they feel from their families and ch complaints are no less frequent from deaf people educated in traditional oral programs. We shall demonstrate why the many hours spent acquiring an oral technique do not necessarily establish feelings of closeness between human beings. Closeness comes from exchanges of information and feelings: in short, from understanding and empathy.

But without adequate language, we cannot do these things. This is why deaf people are isolated. They grow in silence, but they must not grow alone. For centuries, the deaf have been one of nature's "experiments" on the effects of cultural isolation. But for all its years, this "experiment" has resulted in little to bring the deaf into the mainstream as equals. The results, when examined honestly, are not early appropriate intervention at the social and educational level today and tomorrow, the deaf child and his family must not continue to be strangers in the same house.

There are practically no professionals who are prepared or who will attempt to deal with the parents' primary need: to discuss, ventilate and understand their feelings toward their deaf child. It is not uncommon for the busy physi­cian or audiologist to feel that his responsibility has been fulfilled once he has established the diagnosis of irreversible deafness. This is only the beginning of the time of parents' greatest need.

When parents have been informed that their child is deaf, the feelings of grief following definite diagnosis must be acknowledged. What actually happens in individual cases after deafness is diagnosed depends upon whom the parent gets for counseling and the age of the child when the advice is given.

It has been almost universally recognized that the early identification and rehabilitation of the deaf child bring the best results. The principal problem lies in the nature of the rehabilitation recommended. The most common advice is the use of early amplification and instruction in oral speech and lipreading.

Once having discovered their child's deafness, parents naturally wish to help the child have what they believe will be a "normal" life. If they are led to believe that methods exist to do so, will eagerly embrace and support them. It is not until too late that the parents come to another painful realizations teaching speech and speech-reading alone will not develop  adequate language comprehension.

It is a universal observation of those who have constructed programs for special groups of young disabled children that unless the parents' emotional needs are adequately dealt with, the programs themselves have limited benefit for the children.

Parents ….. to help their  hard of hearing children not to feel isolated.

8. Render in English:

Социальная изоляция  - это одна из основных проблем людей с ограниченными возможностями. Чувство близости между людьми возникает из понимания и сопереживания. Однако для людей с ограниченными возможностями барьер в общении часто становится барьером  для понимания.

К сожалению,  специалисты к которым обращаются родители детей с нарушениями, часто бывают слишком заняты, чтобы заниматься  их эмоциональными и психологическими проблемами.

Но, согласно исследованиям, реабилитационные программы часто приносят мало пользы, если не решены эмоциональные проблемы внутри семьи.
