Five Days Short Term RCI Continuing
Rehabilitation Education Training Program
from 23 to 27 May 2016 was conducted by
Dr. S.Santhi Prakash, Reader & i/c Asst
Director on the subject ‘Methods and
Techniques of Teaching Language for Children
with Hearing Impairments’. Students with
hearing impairment receive services in a
variety of settings, from the general education
classroom to residential schools. Parents and
many professionals have embraced the current
controversial trend toward policies of inclusion
(i.e., placing students with disabilities in
general education classrooms for most or all
of the school day). They caution that the
general education classrooms are not
necessarily the most appropriate placement

for students with hearing impairment.
However, some students with hearing
impairment experience academic and social
success in general education settings. This
indicates that the preservation of the
continuum of placements, whereby
placement decisions can be made on
individual bases, is in the best interest of
students with hearing impairment. Hence new
training programs are developed to enable
teachers to handle children with HI in these
settings. Improved efforts at the planning as
well as at the implementation level is likely to
bring about the necessary improvement in the
education of children with hearing
impairment.
