Social Interaction and Acceptance of Deaf or Hard-of-Hearing Children and Their Peers: A Comparison of Social-Skills and Familiarity-Based Interventions.
Antia, Shirin D.; Kreimeyer, Kathryn H.
Volta Review, v98 n4 p157-80 Fall 1996
This study compared effects of either a teacher-mediated social skills intervention or an integrated activities intervention on social interaction among young (ages four to six) children with and without hearing impairments. The social skills intervention successfully increased social interactions among deaf and hard-of-hearing children, but neither intervention increased interaction between hearing-impaired and normally hearing peers.
