Speech rehabilitation for deaf children

Through the contact with children, I feel that the road to recovery of hearing impaired children is very difficult, not as simple as I think. It’s no use just having enthusiasm. Deaf children’s hearing and language rehabilitation is a comprehensive science involving medicine, acoustics, linguistics, psychology and pedagogy. As a hearing rehabilitation teacher, we must keep learning, improve our abilities in all aspects and master basic knowledge. After years of experience, I would like to talk about my own experience:

I. psychological rehabilitation

Because of the hearing barrier, there are problems in children’s mind, such as lack of autonomy and independence, lack of persistence and emotional instability. Teachers should use sincere feelings to influence children, care, love and respect them; a look, a smile and a word should make deaf children feel cordial, so that they “kiss their teachers, believe in their way”, like teachers and kindergarten life.

2. Relaxed and natural pronunciation

Our speech activities are free, relaxed, efficient and effortless. We should develop the ability of deaf children. In fact, this is the training of deaf children’s ability to use their vocal cords as easily as possible. The teacher is not clear about the deaf children’s pronunciation. If he shows excessive worry and boredom, it is easy to be noticed by the deaf children. The deaf children will become nervous and at a loss. As a result, the speech will not be natural and pleasant. This kind of physical tension will affect the quality of his pronunciation. The children may also regard learning as an unpleasant task and learning to speak as a kind of pressure and burden.

I believe that children have the potential to make natural and pleasant sounds. In order to develop this potential of children, let children develop naturally – let it be. Encourage him with eager attitude, keep calm and take advantage of all opportunities that children can speak and speak. When he uses his voice, whether he babbles or utters meaningful phrases, we should praise him or show our joy. After establishing a solid language foundation, we will focus more on improving his pronunciation.

III. explore children’s interests and enhance their confidence

Interest is the best teacher. The children we trained are usually 2-7 years old. They are not stable in mood, have poor control ability and are not focused. In the process of teaching, teachers should focus on the content that can attract children and adopt various teaching methods to make children feel interesting and interesting. For example: do tongue exercises with headdress, and wash the face of kitten

The kitten washes her mouth and learns the cat’s movements while doing it. When breathing training, prepare more objects – blow balloons, blow candles, blow frogs, blow cotton ~~~~~~~~ when making a, O, e long and short sounds, we should take a variety of methods, such as: while pronouncing, draw lines; while playing drums, while pronouncing; while pronouncing, while doing actions; like learning birds to fly, learning roosters to crow, learning rabbits to jump Fun, and in the process of playing relaxed, happy to master learning knowledge.

Let children build up confidence. When they make a little progress, they should give affirmation to make them feel the joy of success. If they have difficulties, they should give hints and inspiration. If they don’t speak well, they should also give comfort and don’t scold. In order to avoid hurting their self-esteem, they should show full trust and believe in their certain attitude and eyes.

IV. correction of falsetto

When children learn to pronounce, they always have some strange sounds. It’s much more “sharp” than the average child’s voice. These so-called strange sounds are falsetto, which is a sound made by deaf children with falsetto. Children use false vocal cords when learning to pronounce, which is mainly due to “tension”. Observe children’s pronunciation in natural state, there is no falsetto, but let them imitate pronunciation, that is, falsetto. Any falsetto found shall be corrected immediately. When teaching children pronunciation, we should be kind and eliminate the children’s tension. Let it relax. If there is a falsetto, the teaching activities can be suspended. Let the child play for a while, or change the posture of the body when pronouncing. Let children touch their own throat pronunciation, play the role of eliminating falsetto.

In a word, deaf children’s hearing and language rehabilitation involves too much content. As a rehabilitation teacher, I think it’s necessary for them to recover as soon as possible, study hard and make progress day by day.
