ABSTRACT

A human’s ability to envision, listen, talk, and respond in accordance with circumstances is one of their most priceless gifts. Despite the fact that their vocal chords may not be affected, people who are born deaf or who lose their hearing at a young age are unable to communicate. Due to their inability to imitate spoken sounds due to hearing loss, they become deaf and dumb. Peer communication between hearing-impaired and hearing-normal peers has never been easy. To aid in their learning, deaf or hearing-impaired students may have a note-taker or a sign interpreter present in the classroom. “Education of special needs children” In India, 18 million people who are deaf are illiterate or partially illiterate. Blind persons can easily communicate using conventional language; however, hearing-impaired people use their own manual-visual language called “sign language.” Thus, there is an obstacle to communication among these two communities as a result of this. Many makers throughout the world have created numerous systems of sign language; however, the end users find them neither versatile nor cost-effective. In this work, the numerous teaching strategies that are employed to instruct and educate the pupils will be discussed. For those who have hearing loss, using captioning services, sign language interpretation, warning devices, telecommunication devices, frequency modulation, as well as loop systems, and hearing assistive equipment can help them communicate and learn more effectively. There are various educational technologies that can promote the efficient use of assistive technology aids to support in-class instruction. The foundation of an e-learning system is formal education, but it is supported by electronic resources that are not found in a regular classroom. With a large variety of students, including deaf and dumb people, the entire programme is offered online. E-learning, sign language interpreters, sign language gloves, sign language professional academic videos, sign language keyboards, text and video materials, optical character recognition (OCR), tele-typewriting (remote keystroke), and other learning strategies for disabled and hard-of-hearing students in higher education will be discussed.
