SCHOOL READINESS ASSESSMENT FOR CHILDREN WITH HEARING IMPAIRMENTS IN THE LIGHT OF THE NEW EDUCATIONAL REALITY

Journal Title: Szkoła Specjalna - Year 2013, Vol 0, Issue 3

Abstract

The article presents the problem of assessing school readiness in children with hearing defects in the context of the new regulations made by the Ministry of National Education, which introduce preschool assessment that is obligatory for all children, Individualized Edu-cation and Therapy Programs, and compulsory education from six years of age. The author, a teacher of deaf and hard of hearing students and a speech therapist, presents a new set of tools she designed to assess school readiness in children with hearing impairments that is fully adjusted to the specific character of these children’s development and that takes into account the principles of the new core curriculum. This set assesses, first of all, readiness for learning mathematics, readiness for learning to read and write, and language competence. This article also presents preliminary results of the research conducted between 2008 and 2011 on school readiness in children with hearing impairments. The research included the assessment of school readiness in children with hearing defects as well as the opinions of teachers, parents, and psychological and educational counseling centers on this matter.
