Paper Introduction: Deaf Speech: Interventions for Prelingual/Lingual Deaf Children Introduction The ultimate goals of auditory habilitation programs for children with impaired hearing include the development of age-appropriate language skills and oral/aural communication skills sufficient for them to function without accommodation at school and, eventually, in the larger community (Blamey, Sarant, Paatsch, Barry, Bow, Wales, et al, 2001). Many children with hearing impairments ranging from the moderate to the profound fail to develop prelingual vocal capabilities as a consequence of their impairment. According to Meyen and Skrtic (1995), the use and comprehension of language by hearing impaired children is, on average, below that of their normally hearing peers; in addition, the speech of the average prelingually hearing Text of the Paper: The entire text of the paper is shown below.
