Journal Title: Journal of Special Education and Rehabilitation - Year 2010, Vol 11, Issue 3

Abstract

A research of mobility and skills among deaf children (from 7 to 17 years old) is presented in this work. The sample of examinees (N=98) is consisted of two subsamples. The first subsample is consisted of deaf children (primary-school and secondary-school level), who have been included in the educative and rehabilitative treatment in the special school (N=29) and the second subsample is consisted of hearing children (primary-school and secondary-school level), who have been chosen by random choice (N=69). For the purpose of the research, a measure instrument named “Test for evaluation of the anthropologic features (extremity movement) of mobility and skills“, (TAMV), has been constructed. The aim of the research is to establish mobility and skills of deaf children. In order to test the hypothesis that there are statistically significant differences among deaf and hearing children (primary-school and secondary-school level) in mobility and skills, discriminative analysis has been applied. The results showed that deaf examinees have been much weaker compared to hearing examinees in mobility and skills and that these differences were statistically significant when applied on the system of variables. The results enriched the knowledge about mobility and skills of deaf children, which can encourage more programs of motor mobility and skills improvement to be constructed.
