In alignment with this biosocial view, we recognize and resist the overarching influence of biomedical professionals and systems on deaf education. Such biomedical influence comes with convenient detachment from accountability in education systems while arguably causing at least significant, if not maximal, harm to the optimal developmental outcomes of deaf children.

The unique needs of deaf and hard of hearing students meant that unique accommodations and solutions needed to be considered and used for the distance learning formats.

The sample consisted of 31 children with CIs (prelingually deaf, with a hearing age equal to or greater than 2 years) and 31 children with TH. The researchers used two activities to carry out the study: conversation and picture naming.

A cohort of 223 d/Deaf and hard of hearing (d/Dhh) students in grades 3–9 in special education schools took a series of cognitive and mathematical tests. After outlying data were considered, the sample was reduced to 198 students; the findings were consistent with expectations: The numerical magnitude processing did not add significantly to the prediction of mathematical reasoning (nonfluency mathematics) but did make a significant contribution to the prediction of arithmetic computation (fluency mathematics) after demographic variables and general cognitive processing were controlled for. The findings suggest that the effect of numerical magnitude processing on d/Dhh children’s mathematical performance can be influenced by mathematical fluency.","PeriodicalId":46988,"journal":{"name":"American Annals of the Deaf","volume":null,"pages":null},"PeriodicalIF":1.0,"publicationDate":"2022-04-14","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"48567399","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":4,"RegionCategory":"教育学","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}
