The increase in the numbers of hearing-impaired students served in public schools in recent years has led to concern over the availability and quality of audiological services in that setting. Within the field of audiology, the specialty practice of Educational Audiology has begun to be recognized as one way to insure that students receive services from qualified individuals, but training in educational audiology is not yet widely available. This paper reviews the public schools' audiologic service needs, presents a plan for in-service education in this specialty, and proposes the establishment of a new accreditation in Educational Audiology.

This paper explores the relationship between emotional intelligence and psychological well-being among hearing-impaired students. Emotional intelligence consists of five dimensions namely intrapersonal, interpersonal, adaptability, stress management and general mood. A total of 130 hearing-impaired students were chosen as participants via simple random sampling at four polytechnics in Malaysia. The Bar-On Emotional Quotient: Short (EQ-i: S) and Ryff‘s Psychological Well-Being instruments were utilised to measure emotional intelligence and psychological well-being. It was found that in general, hearing impaired students have moderate emotional intelligence level and psychological well-being. Results also found that intrapersonal, interpersonal and adaptability dimensions correlated significantly with psychological well-being. No correlations were found between stress management and general mood dimensions with psychological well-being. Though limited by their ability to speak and to hear, emotional intelligence among hearing-impaired students does play a role in enhancing their individual capability to learn and to experience positive psychological well-being in life.

Handicapping conditions which affect communication, such as a hearing loss, make the identification, diagnosis, and provision of services to gifted and talented handicapped students difficult. A hearing loss has no effect on intellectual ability but it is difficult to determine the presence of creativity in hearing impaired children. A survey of programs in the Washington, D.C. Metropolitan area was conducted and several areas of need were found. Returns showed that programs and support services necessary to meet the unique needs of gifted and talented hearing impaired students were limited.

The purpose of this study was to compare the summary writing skills of hearing-impaired and normally hearing college Students. Summarization was defined in terms Of the following measures: deletion of trivial text information, inclusion of most important ideas, selection of topic sentences, creation of topic statements, and integration of information Within and among several paragraphs. Inclusion of opinionated, incorrect, and uninterpretable information Was measured also. Thirty hearing-impaired and 30 normally hearing students read and summarized two expository science passages that were controlled for the number of topic (main idea) sentences and that had been rated previously for the importance of "idea units." Students' factual comprehension also was assessed. Hearing-impaired and normally hearing students exhibited a similar pattern of use among several measured summarization strategies, except for the inclusion of opinions Or comments in their summaries. Hearing-impaired students were not as sensitive as normally hearing students to importance of ideas and used the following summarization strategies significantly less often: inclusion of important ideas, selection of topic sentences, creation of topic statements, and integration of ideas within and among paragraphs. The results indicated that hearing-impaired college students have basic summarization skills but do not apply summarization strategies as effectively as normally hearing students.

In the past 20 years, there have been significant changes in educational services for students with hearing impairments in the public schools. These changes include the enactment of the Education for All Handicapped Children Act of 1975, the provision of related services by speech-language pathologists and the transition from primarily oral instructional philosophies and practices to those of total communication. Policies and procedures for delivering instruction in oral communication to students with hearing impairments have accompanied these changes. This article presents the results of a survey completed by speech-language pathologists and teachers of hearing-impaired students to identify parameters of instruction for developing oral communication in hearing impaired students. Specifically examined were aspects of professional preparation, roles, and responsibilities of speech-language pathologists and teachers, and parameters of direct instruction. Based on the findings of this survey and knowledge regarding how students learn oral communication, recommendations for the implementation of collaboration and consultation models by speech-language pathologists, teachers, and audiologists are proposed.
