Preface

Persons with disabilities are an integral part of our society. Their rights, entitlements and opportunities, as well as services for their specific needs, have to be made available and assured, in the same way that they are made available for other persons in our rich social fabric. Inclusion of persons with disabilities into the mainstream of society needs to be accelerated.
This module series on D.Ed.Spl.Ed. Intellectual and Developmental Disabilities (IDD) is formulated to prepare special teachers for children with the disabilities specializing in Intellectual and Developmental Disabilities (IDD) which includes, besides Intellectual Disability (ID), Specific Learning Disability (SLD), Autism Spectrum Disorders (ASD). It also contains updated information and recent developments in the disability sector and will become an important source of information for all the stakeholders working for the rehabilitation of PwDs.
This module is an outcome of the combined efforts of group of eminent rehabilitation experts. This training module is a compilation of information sourced from various materials/literature, researches, internet etc. I also gratefully acknowledge and recognize their contributions. I hope that this material is utilised as a Reference Guide for Government functionaries, teachers, students and other stakeholders across the country.

Fundamentals of Speech and  Speech Teaching

Introduction

A hearing defect therefore can profoundly affect an individual’s life. It poses serious obstacles to speech acquisition and development especially if it is congenital. Concentrated and systematic effort must be made to work with the child with hearing impairment for improving his speaking skills. The teacher’s role is of paramount importance both in speech evaluation as well as in speech teaching for such children.
Chapter I explains the structure and functions of the various systems involved in speech production. The parameters of speech as well as the characteristics of normal speech are discussed. The reasons for regarding speech as an overlaid function are explained.
Chapter II outlines the process of speech sound production. The consonants are described in terms of their manner and place of articulation as well as voicing features. Vowels classification in terms of tongue advancement and lip rounding is explained.
Chapter III describes the development of speech in children with and without hearing impairment. The various stages in speech development are elaborated on. It also explains the factors that could influence speech development in both the groups.
Chapter IV highlights the speech problems found in individuals with hearing impairment, namely, articulation, voice and supraseg- mental errors. It also covers the effect of respiratory problems on speech. Speech intelligibility measures and their importance are also discussed.
Chapter V provides information on evaluating the speech of the hearing impaired child. How to examine the structures and functions of the oral peripheral mechanism is explained. It further describes the procedure for carrying out phonetic level and phonological level evaluations. Finally, it explains how profiling of speech should be done for children in the classroom.
Chapter VI reflects on the principles and strategies of speech development and speech correction. The various approaches and models used for teaching speech to children with hearing impairment are described. Ling’s developmental model is explained using examples.
Chapter VII deals with aids and equipment for development of speech in the hearing impaired. The different sensory aids such as speech trainers, tactile aids and visual aids that are available for teaching speech are explained. The advantages and disadvantages of each are also summarized.
Chapter VIII describes the importance of the home environment and the need to ensure optimal conditions. The stress is on the fact that the child with hearing impairment has to be facilitated at each stage of speech development and parents working in tandem with teachers could make a lot of difference.

Fundamentals of Hearing, Hearing Impairment and Audiological Management

Foreword

“A book that fills the mind with beauty and opens the heart to what is lovely and lovable is a treasure forever”. It allows transmission of knowledge from generation to generation and from place to place. Books have always been our best friend and a source of learning. We read and write for many purposes, most of the time they are either social or academic.
This manual attempts to serve the academic needs in the field of Special Education and Rehabilitation. Disability Studies are mostly dependent on western books and literature with very little being available within the country. An effort has been made to fill in the gaps that existed, by preparing the manuals that would be simple in approach, easy to understand and serving the students  needs. We hope that they will prove to be an effective tool not only for students and teachers, but also for parents, NGOs and organizations of persons with disability. The manual attempts to consciously follow the course syllabus and in the process explore the general and disability specific issues. In the process of creating such specifically tailored manuals for the courses, there are possibilities of oversights or errors despite our being careful. The Council would like to invite your suggestions and comments so that the subsequent editions, revised versions can be improved upon.
Time and again, it was emphasized that there is a great dearth of study material for the students as well as the teachers for the various diploma level courses in discipline of Special Education and Rehabilitation of the Council. This set the Council to take the onerous task of manual preparation. Lots of effort has gone into the process, by the authors and the editors. Searching for the appropriate and relevant material that should go into the manual, readily understood by the trainee has been a gigantic responsibility executed with extreme care by the specialist team chosen for this purpose.
The Council would like to thank everyone associated with this project for their contribution. We hope that the manuals are able to unlock the doors of knowledge and successfully develop an insight into the world of persons with disability.

Introduction

Unit 2 aims at giving a kaleidoscopic view of the concept language. Intricacies of its structure, functions and characteristics are unfolded for you to appreciate the complex and yet very interesting nature of the concept-language. The unit also discusses the notions like competence and performance which are so crucial for understanding the language related problems/solutions of the deaf children.
For decades, thousands of scholars have been working and will continue to work into the area of language development/acquisition. There exists rich and in depth literature discussing details of how, why and when do children acquire the command over the most significant tool called language. Unit 3 brings a few droplets for you from that ocean. Keep relating this information with your language teaching activities.
Language testing is central to language teaching. Yet, language assessment remains to be a neglected area in the field of special education of the deaf-particularly in India. Unit 4 intends to provide you a strong theoretical base so that you as a teacher of new generation do not commit the same errors as those committed by the earlier generation of the teachers.
What a teacher of the deaf does for 6 hours a day and thinks about for 24 hours a day is teaching language to the deaf. Unit 6 brings you face to face with the theory and the practice of various methods, techniques and principles of language. After internalizing this information, you may find the goal of language development more achievable.
