Parent and Teacher Roles in Supporting the Education of Deaf Children: A Literature-Based Analysis

Abstract

The education and social integration of deaf children are critically influenced by the collaborative dynamics between parents and teachers. Such collaborations can effectively facilitate optimal learning outcomes, fostering an inclusive environment conducive to the well-being and growth of deaf children. This literature-based analysis emphasizes the shared responsibility of parents and educators in creating tailored educational strategies aimed at addressing the unique needs of deaf learners. Research highlights the importance of early parental involvement, which significantly enhances children's learning experiences, as well as ongoing teacher training to better equip them with the skills necessary to engage effectively with deaf students. Additionally, the integration of assistive technologies serves to bridge communication gaps, enhancing both the learning process and social interactions within educational settings. By developing policies that encourage collaboration and support from community resources, the educational landscape for deaf children can be significantly improved, ensuring they receive comprehensive and accessible educational experiences.
