1. Hearing Impairments

2. Hearing impairment, or hearing loss, occurs when children lose part or all of their ability to hear. Hearing impairments are classified based on the severity and type of hearing impairment. The severity of hearing impairment can be mild, moderate, severe, or profound.

3. Accommodations and modifications for student with traumatic brain injury

4. Some accommodations and modifications to improve concentration for student with traumatic brain injury include: • Have student sit near teacher in the classroom. • Keep distractions to a minimum. • Use peer note-takers. • Allow student to use a tape recorder. • Provide assignments in writing. • Teach in small groups. • Schedule classes when student’s attention is best. • Focus student’s attention with verbal and nonverbal cues. • Allow student to have frequent breaks.

5. Visual impairment and Impact on Learning Students with visual impairment have a limited ability to learn incidentally from their environment. It is through sight that much of what we learn is received and processed. It is believed that up to 80% of what children without visual impairments learn is through visual cues. The other senses do not fully compensate for the loss of sight. Touch and hearing can be ineffective substitutes for many individuals.

12. Comparison between the 3 disabilities visual impairment, hearing impairment, and traumatic brain injury A hearing impairment is a hearing loss that prevents a person from totally receiving sounds through the ear. Visual impairment, also known as vision impairment or vision loss, is a decreased ability to see to a degree that causes problems not fixable by usual means, such as glasses. a tbi is a disruption in brain function, caused by an external force to the head
