Abstract:

Persons who are born hearing-impaired or who become hearing-impaired during the critical early language learning years of life often have deficient vocabulary development and difficulty reading certain language structures. A panel of educators of the hearing-impaired will present their views on the needs of prelingually deaf and hard-of-hearing readers and the moderator will focus the discussion on writing techniques which technical communicators might use communicate to those with such language deficits.
