Literacy Supporting Communication Development for Children with Congenital DeafblindnessBrum, Christopher January 2016 (has links)
Thesis advisor: Susan M. Bruce / The effects of deafblindness are much greater than simply combining the effects of the individual’s vision loss with the effects of their hearing loss, because these senses strongly support one another (Silberman, Bruce, & Nelson, 2004). Even though most individuals have some residual vision and hearing, deafblindness limits access to the environment, resulting in a distorted perception of the immediate surroundings (van Dijk, Janssen, & Nelson, 2001). The implications greatly limit the individual’s opportunities for incidental learning and significantly impact the individual’s language and communication development (Bruce, 2005; Miles & Riggio, 1999). For children with deafblindness, there is a strong connection between literacy and communication, since engaging in accessible literacy activities can support learning and communication development (Downing, 2005b). When understood as exchanging information with others in a variety of ways based on personal experiences, literacy has inherent communicative and social components (Bruce et al., 2004). This qualitative research study investigated how teachers were implementing read alouds for children with congenital deafblindness, as well as teacher’s understandings regarding the relationship between communication and literacy for individuals with deafblindness. Three case studies were conducted, followed a cross-case analysis to determine prominent themes that emerged from the observation, interview and field note data. Results included the emergence of themes related to teacher beliefs, instructional strategies and the learning environment across cases. The major theme that emerged for teacher beliefs was a shared understanding of the connection between communication and literacy for children with deafblindness, and the minor theme was comprehensive understanding of deafblindness. Major themes that emerged for instructional strategies were the use of total communication with different levels of representation, communication modeling, and positive reinforcement, as well as the minor theme of formative assessment. Finally, for the learning environment, a major theme of adapted materials emerged, as well as a minor theme of technology. / Thesis (PhD) — Boston College, 2016. / Submitted to: Boston College.

Teckenspråk i taktil form : Turtagning och frågor i dövblindas samtal på teckenspråkMesch, Johanna January 1998 (has links)
The present study focuses on turn-taking and questions in conversations between deaf-blind persons using tactile sign language, i.e. communicating by holding each others hands, and how sign language utterances change in the tactile mode when the nonmanual signals characteristic of turntaking and interrogative sentences in (visual) sign language are not used. The material consists of six video-recorded conversations (four with deaf-blind pairs and two where one person is deaf and one is deaf-blind). Parts of the material, viz. 168 sequences with questions and answers, has been transcribed and analyzed. The analysis shows that deaf-blind signers use their hands in two different conversation positions. In the monologue position both the signer's hands are held under the hands of the listener, whereas in the dialogue position both participants hold their hands in identical ways: the right hand under the other person's left hand and the left hand on top of the other person's right hand. It is described how the two positions affect the structure of one- and twohanded signs and how back channeling, linguistic as well as non-linguistic (with different kinds of tapping), is used in the two positions. The analysis shows that differences in the vertical and the horizontal planes are used in turn-taking regulation. Using four different conversational levels the signer can signal e.g. turn change by lowering his/her hands from the turn level to the turn change level at the end of his/her turn. The horizontal plane is devided into three different turn zones. The turn holder uses his/her own turn zone close to the body and finishes the turn by moving the hands to the joint zone midway between the interlocutors or into the listener's zone. The analyzed utterances function as questions, yes/no-questions (82) as well as wh-questions (55). It is hypothesized that yes/no-questions are marked with the manual signal extended duration of the last sign of the utterance, one of the interrogative signals of visual signing, but this was only true for 46 % of the yes/no-questions in the material. Since extended duration of the last sign also signals turn change in e.g. statements it is not regarded as an interrogative signal. Additional markers of yes/no-questions are among others the sign INDEX-adr ('you') with its variant INDEX-adr-long, used as a summons signal, and repetitions of signs or sentences. As for the wh-questions a majority are made with a manual wh-sign. Generally, if there are no interrogative signals the context and the content of the utterance will account for its interpretation as a question. To avoid misunderstandings, questions and non-linguistic signals are used in checking turns, where the signer requests back channeling or the listener requests repetition or clarification. / <p>För att köpa boken skicka en beställning till exp@ling.su.se/ To order the book send an e-mail to exp@ling.su.se</p>

Previous issue date: 2010 / Os documentos oficiais da atual política educacional brasileira preconizam que o processo de escolarização dos alunos com necessidades educacionais especiais seja desenvolvido no sistema regular de ensino. A presente pesquisa buscou estudar o processo de inclusão escolar de alunos com surdocegueira inseridos no Ensino Básico de escolas regulares da cidade de Salvador-Bahia. O objetivo geral foi estudar, entender e discutir as diferentes formas de comunicação de alunos surdocegos, relacionando-as com o seu processo de inclusão nessas escolas. Foram objetivos específicos: descrever e analisar as formas de comunicação exclusivas de alunos com surdocegueira que estudam em escolas do Ensino Básico, em Salvador-Bahia; identificar os tipos de Atendimento Educacional Especializado (AEE) disponibilizados aos alunos surdocegos nas escolas; discutir as formas de comunicação e o Atendimento Educacional Especializado encontrados, relacionando-os com o processo de inclusão educacional vivenciado por alunos com surdocegueira. A abordagem da pesquisa foi qualitativa, do tipo estudo de caso, tendo, como amostra, quatro alunos surdocegos, sendo três do ensino Fundamental II e um do Ensino Médio. A coleta dos dados foi realizada em 2009, no espaço escolar dos alunos, compreendido por três escolas públicas e uma privada. O instrumento de análise foi a entrevista aberta, complementada por observação assistemática e análise de documentos técnicos e pedagógicos sobre os alunos. A análise e discussão dos dados foram organizadas a partir da técnica “análise de conteúdos” e resultou em três categorias: a primeira tratou da dinâmica do atendimento educacional especializado oferecido ao aluno surdocego, cujos resultados constataram lacunas na infraestrutura e na ação dos especialistas, bem como fragmentação do atendimento oferecido ao aluno surdocego; na segunda categoria foram identificadas as formas de comunicação dos alunos surdocegos pesquisados, verificando-se maiores dificuldades quanto às formas utilizadas para receber as mensagens; na terceira categoria relacionou-se o atendimento educacional especializado recebido pelo aluno surdocego com as formas de comunicação do aluno surdocego, discutindo as implicações desta relação para a inclusão escolar deste aluno, o que evidenciou o desconhecimento por parte da comunidade escolar sobre as necessidades do aluno com surdocegueira nos espaços escolares públicos e privados de Salvador-Bahia, analisados por esta pesquisa. São apresentadas, finalmente, propostas concretas para uma inclusão escolar mais eficaz dos alunos surdocegos, sugerindo-se ações a curto, médio e longo prazo, considerando os resultados encontrados. / Salvador

An Analysis of Training Needs for Providers of Transition Services for the Deaf/BlindCastino, Kelly M. 01 January 2017 (has links)
There is a lack of knowledge in the area of training needs for Deaf/Blind vocational rehabilitation and/or independent living service providers in Florida. This quantitative study utilized self-report surveys of Deaf/Blind providers in Florida to determine what needs to be done related to professional development. The researcher attempted to determine what service providers identify as areas of strength, and what areas they perceive to be those which require additional professional development training. The study participants were 31 professionals who worked at state agencies, non-profits, for-profits, private, or federal agencies that provide services to the Deaf/Blind population in Florida in the areas of vocational rehabilitation and/or independent living. The survey was developed by the researcher based on previous research in the areas of best practice in vocational rehabilitation and independent living. The areas that the survey addressed are interagency collaboration/relationship building, self-determination, parent involvement/parent support, and additional training areas. There were 18 questions on the survey that took participants no longer than 15 minutes to complete. Quantitative data were collected using a commercial platform to keep respondents’ information confidential and analyzed using descriptive statistics which include percentages and other data. Key areas were identified in which providers to the Deaf/Blind may need additional training in the areas of vocational rehabilitation and independent living. The results suggested that the background training of Deaf/Blind providers is varied. Even though Deaf/Blind providers’ training is varied, perceived strengths and weaknesses were suggested.
