Currently I am teaching deaf undergraduate computer students. In Computer Science education, logical thinking and critical thinking plays a vital role. Early identification of children who are born deaf or hard of hearing is critical. We are studying the effect of early intervention in the development of logical thinking and reasoning skills. In other words, does early intervention have any effect on the development of logical thinking and reasoning skills of deaf and hard of hearing?
Please share your views about this.
Once there is an understanding of the cognitive development of deaf and hearing impaired students, the early interventionist can begin to develop activities which stimulate and/or develop logical thinking and reasoning skills.
See Swanwick and Marschark (2010) Enhancing Education for Deaf Children: Research into Practice and Back Againn for more information.
Yes , early intervention have great effect on the development of logical thinking and reasoning skills in children with hearing impairment.
From birth to 3 years of age is the critical period. Early intervention has great effect on speech and language development of the child. Early intervention helps the clinician to take the advantage of neuromaturation, the period at which learning speech and language has great importance in child's life.
Hearing is critical for the development of speech, language, communication skills, and learning. The earlier that hearing loss occurs in a child's life, the more serious is the effect on the child's development. Similarly, the earlier the hearing loss is identified and intervention begun, the more likely it is that the delays in speech and language development will be diminished. Recent research indicates that children identified with hearing loss who begin services before 6 months old develop language (spoken or signed) on a par with their hearing peers.
REGARDING YOUR QUESTION
Obviously,it must effect on the development of logical thinking and reasoning skills.
