The use of ICT in developing reading and writing skills in children with hearing impairment

This research study was designed to see the effectiveness of video clipping (ICT) in teaching reading and writing skills to children with hearing impairment. It was a first study by its nature. The major concern was to investigate the effect of hearing loss on language development. Different studies conducted in Pakistan in this regard show that poor reading and writing abilities of children with hearing impairment multiply the effect of their hearing loss to the extent that they are not able to communicate even for their basic needs such as food, shelter and health etc. A lack of communication between teacher and taught leads to poor cognitive development. Through this experimental study the researcher has shared new teaching methodology to develop reading and writing skills among children with hearing impairment. Major objective of the study was to see the effectiveness of video clipping in developing reading and writing abilities of children with hearing impairment. The findings of the study are shared in this article.
