Selected Code-Related and Language- Related Factors of Reading Comprehension for Deaf and Hard of Hearing StudentsFalk, Jodi Lara January 2016 (has links)
This study examined the interrelationships among English language structures (phonological knowledge, morphological knowledge, silent word reading fluency) and reading comprehension in a group of 45 deaf and hard of hearing students in grades 3 to 8, taking into account their demographic characteristics. Simple Pearson correlations, multiple regression analyses, and an independent samples t test were used in this study. Results indicated that morphological knowledge was the significant variable positively associated with reading comprehension over and beyond the other predictors (phonological knowledge and silent word reading fluency) and the demographic covariates (home language, age, and gender).

An experimental analysis of opportunity and communication response form in a child with autism and hearing impairments.Dempsey, Donna Jean 12 1900 (has links)
An alternating treatment design was used to systematically evaluate the communication response forms, picture exchange communication system (PECS) or sign language, selection for a child with pervasive developmental disorder-not otherwise specified, profound hearing loss, and cochlear implants. The child had a limited pool of high preference items and very few functional skills. Key factors for this child included a structured environment that created a verbal community and contingent access to high preference items. No preference in communication response form was observed. The child successfully used four response forms to communicate: gestures, PECS, sign language, and vocalization. The results are discussed in terms of decision making factors in the selection of response forms.

A programme to enhance resilience in families in which a child has a hearing lossAhlert, Ingrid Anita 12 1900 (has links)
Thesis (DPhil (Psychology))—University of Stellenbosch, 2009. / ABSTRACT: The aim of this study was to identify and enhance specific resilience qualities that help
protect and support families in overcoming the adversity of having a child with a hearing
impairment. The study was divided into two phases, namely (a) the descriptive phase, which
aimed to identify and explore the resilience qualities that foster better adaptation in these
families and (b) the intervention phase, which aimed to develop, implement and evaluate an
intervention programme that enhances the utilisation of social support, one important
resilience quality identified in the descriptive phase of the study.
The study was essentially exploratory and descriptive in nature and was directed at
developing scientific knowledge and theory in the field of family resilience. Using the
Resiliency Model of Family Stress, Adjustment and Adaptation (McCubbin & McCubbin,
1996) as the theoretical framework, the resilience process was mapped in terms of stressors,
risk and protective factors, and family adaptation.
The 54 participating families in the descriptive phase were identified according to the nature
of the crisis (hearing impairment) and the developmental phase of the family. The
participants were obtained by means of a non-probability, purposive sampling procedure and
were drawn from the black, coloured and white cultural subgroups residing in the Western
Cape, South Africa. Both quantitative and qualitative measures were used for data collection.
The results were analysed predominantly according to correlation and regression analyses
techniques, while the qualitative data was categorised according to themes and frequencies.
Results showed that family time and routine, social support, affirming communication, family
hardiness, problem-solving skills, religion, a search for meaning and accepting the disability
were factors promoting resilience in these families. A randomised pretest-posttest control group design was applied in the intervention phase of
the study. The 31 participants were identified in the initial phase of the study and belonged to
the coloured cultural subgroup. Data was again collected using quantitative and qualitative
measures and was analysed using repeated measures analysis of variance and grounded
theory analysis. The results did not indicate a statistically significant change in the utilisation
of social support following the implementation of the workshop. The qualitative data,
however, highlighted that the participants reported greater support from the immediate and
extended family, increased family time and routine, as well as improved communication and
problem-solving skills following the workshop.
The study generally offers valuable knowledge that can be incorporated in psychological and
social training programmes, preventative community interventions and therapeutic settings.
The positive and pragmatic approach adopted in the study ensures that families are
empowered by bringing them hope, helping them develop new competencies and building
mutual support. The study has opened various new avenues for future research in the field of
family resilience and hearing impairment. / OPSOMMING: Die doel van hierdie studie was om spesifieke veerkragtigheidskwaliteite te identifiseer en
versterk wat gesinne met ’n kind met ‘n gehoorgestremdheid teen teenspoed beskerm en
ondersteun. Die studie is in twee verdeel, naamlik (a) die beskrywende fase, met die doel om
die veerkragtigheidskwaliteite wat beter aanpassing in hierdie gesinne gekweek het, te
identifiseer en ondersoek, en (b) die intervensiefase, met die doel om ’n intervensieprogram
te ontwikkel, implementeer en evalueer wat die gebruik van sosiale ondersteuning, een van
die belangrike veerkragtigheidskwaliteite wat in die beskrywende fase van die studie
geïdentifiseer is, te verhoog.
Die studie was in wese ondersoekend en beskrywend van aard en daarop gerig om
wetenskaplike kennis en teorie in die veld van gesinsveerkragtigheid te ontwikkel. Met die
gebruik van die Veerkragtigheidsmodel van Gesinspanning, Verstelling en Aanpassing
(Resiliency Model of Family Stress, Adjustment and Adaptation) (McCubbin & McCubbin,
1996) as teoretiese raamwerk, is die veerkragtigheidsproses uitgestippel in terme van die
oorsake van die spanning, risiko- en beskermende faktore, en gesinsaanpassing.
Die 54 gesinne wat aan die beskrywende fase deelgeneem het, is op grond van die aard van
die krisis (gehoorgestremdheid) asook die ontwikkelingsfase van die gesin geïdentifiseer. Die
deelnemers is deur middel van ’n doelgerigte nie-waarskynlikheidsteekproefnemingsprosedure
verwerf vanuit swart, kleurling en blanke gesinne wat in die Wes-Kaap, Suid-
Afrika woon. Beide kwantitatiewe en kwalitatiewe metings is vir data-insameling gebruik.
Die resultate is hoofsaaklik aan die hand van korrelasie- en regressieontledingstegnieke
geanaliseer, terwyl die kwalitatiewe data volgens temas en frekwensies gekategoriseer is. Die
resultate het getoon dat gesinstyd en -roetine, sosiale ondersteuning, bevestigende kommunikasie, gesinsgehardheid, probleemoplossings-vaardighede, geloof, ’n soeke na
betekenis en die aanvaarding van die gestremdheid faktore was wat die veerkragtigheid van
hierdie gesinne bevorder het.
’n Ewekansige voor- en natoets kontrolegroep-ontwerp is tydens die intervensiefase van die
studie toegepas. Die 31 deelnemers is tydens die aanvanklike fase van die studie
geïdentifiseer en behoort tot die kleurling kulturele groep. Data is weereens deur middel van
kwantitatiewe en kwalitatiewe metings ingesamel en is aan die hand van herhaalde metingsvariansieontleding
en gegronde teorie-analise geanaliseer. Die resultate het geen statisties
beduidende verskil in die gebruik van sosiale ondersteuning ná die implementering van die
werkswinkel getoon nie. Die kwalitatiewe data het egter beklemtoon dat deelnemers ná die
werkswinkel meer ondersteuning van hulle onmiddellike en uitgebreide familie geniet het,
sowel as meer gesinstyd en -roetine, verbeterde kommunikasie en probleemoplossingsvaardighede.
Oor die algemeen bied die studie waardevolle kennis wat by sielkundige en sosiale
opleidingsprogramme, voorkomende gemeenskapsingryping en in terapeutiese raamwerke
ingelyf kan word. Die positiewe en pragmatiese benadering in die studie verseker dat gesinne
bemagtig word deur hulle hoop te bied, nuwe bekwaamhede te help ontwikkel en wedersydse
ondersteuning op te bou. Die studie het talle nuwe weë vir toekomstige navorsing op die
gebied van gesinsveerkragtigheid en gehoorgestremdheid gebaan.

Tegnologie en gestremdheid : filosofies-etiese perspektieweVerhoef, Suna M. (Suna Margaretha) 03 1900 (has links)
Thesis (MPhil)--University of Stellenbosch, 2001. / ENGLISH ABSTRACT: Technology and disability are both terms laden with associations, values,
meanings and even myths. This becomes clear in this research when both
terms are described in the first part, and the various understandings of the
terms are explained. When the two terms are considered in relation to each
other, the result is a series of questions and ethical problems.
In this assignment the focus is specifically on these questions and ethical
problems that arise out of the relationship between technology and disability.
The research is not done from a natural science perspective (with regard to
technology) and lor a medical perspective (with regards to disability), but from
a philosophical-ethical perspective. The main aim of this research is to think
about what the role of technology is in the life of the disabled in general and
what ethical questions arise from it.
To form a philosophical-ethical perspective the question is asked: should
technology be accepted unequivocally as something that always contributes
to the humanization of the disabled? More specifically the assignment focuses
on the issue: does cochlear implants contribute to the humanization of the
deaf?
The potential problematic relationship between the concepts is clear from the
separate discussions. The limitations and problems of cochlear implants as an
example of technology is shown when it is placed within the framework of a
humanizing relationship. It is clear that technology can not be accepted
unequivocally as something that always contributes to the humanization of the
disabled. The research emphasizes that disability is much more than physical
limitations and that compensating for the limitations through technology does
not always address all the aspects of a disabled person's life - and can
consequently have a dehumanizing effect. A more holistic approach is
considered - one in which all the aspects of being human is addressed. The
unique challenges of the South African context is discussed shortly and in
conclusion the necessity of an "ethics of responsibility" is shown.
Reflection on technology and disability is in the end reflection on life and the
mysteries of life. Disability that reminds us of our limitations and shortcomings,
also reminds us that life is not in our control and that a big part of living is an
unsolvable riddle, a mystery. / AFRIKAANSE OPSOMMING: Tegnologie en gestremdheid is twee gelade terme. Beide verwys na 'n
omvangryke wêreld en potensiële probleme. Dit word duidelik in hierdie
ondersoek wanneer beide terme omskryf word in die eerste afdeling, en die
verskillende verstaansmoontlikhede van die terme uitgewys word. Waar die
twee terme in verband met mekaar gebring word, ontstaan daar uiteindelik 'n
hele string vrae en etiese probleme.
In hierdie skripsie word daar spesifiek op hierdie vrae en etiese probleme, wat
ontstaan uit die verhouding tussen tegnologie en gestremdheid, gefokus. Die
ondersoek vind nie plaas vanuit 'n suiwer natuurwetenskaplike perspektief
(mbt tegnologie) en/of mediese perspektief (mbt gestremdheid) nie, maar
vanuit 'n filosofies-etiese perspektief. Om 'n filosofies-etiese perspektief te
vorm, word die vraag gevra: moet tegnologie ongekwalifiseerd aanvaar word
as iets wat altyd bydra tot die humanisering van die gestremdes? Meer
spesifiek word dan ondersoek ingestel na die vraag: dra kogleêre inplantings
by tot die humanisering van die dowe?
Die vernaamste doel met hierdie ondersoek is dus om na te dink oor wat die
rol van tegnologie in die lewe van gestremdes in die algemeen is en watter
etiese kwessies dit oproep. Die problematiek rondom dowes en kogleêre
inplantings gaan as 'n spesifieke voorbeeld bekyk word. Die begrippe
tegnologie en gestremdheid word eers omskryf in die ondersoek. Die
potensiële problematiek tussen die verhouding tussen die twee terme (en
wêrelde) blyk reeds uit die afsonderlike bespreking van die terme. Die
verhouding waarin tegnologie en gestremdheid tot mekaar staan word uitgelig
deur sekere voorbeelde te noem, en dan word daar spesifiek op kogleêre
inplantings gefokus.
Die beperkings en problematiek van kogleêre inplantings as spesifieke
tegnologie word duidelik wanneer dit binne die raamwerk van die vraag gestel
word of dit 'n humaniserende verhouding is. Dit is duidelik dat tegnologie nie
ongekwalifiseerd aanvaar kan word as iets wat altyd bydra tot die
humanisering van die gestremdes nie. Die ondersoek beklemtoon uiteindelik
dat gestremdheid veel meer behels as blote liggaamlike gebreke en dat die
kompensasie daarvoor deur tegnologie nie altyd as humaniserend ervaar
word nie. 'n Meer holistiese benadering word bepleit - een waarin alle fasette
van die mens (gestremde) se behoeftes aangespreek word. Die unieke
uitdagings wat dit inhou vir ons Suid-Afrikaanse konteks word kortliks
bespreek en ten slotte word daar gewys op die noodsaaklikheid van 'n letiek
van verantwoordelikheid'.
Nadenke oor tegnologie en gestremdheid is uiteindelik nadenke oor die lewe
en oor die geheimenisse daarvan. Gestremdheid wat ons herinner aan ons
tekortkominge en beperkinge, herinner ons ook daaraan dat die lewe 'n
misterie is.
