Jackie Xiu Yan; Kangte Luo – Journal of Visual Impairment & Blindness, 2024
Introduction: Audio description (AD) should satisfy the needs of people who are visually impaired; however, quality assessment in university training programs has rarely been based on feedback provided by AD users. Aiming to help students truly understand the needs of people who are visually impaired and their criteria for AD, this study adopted…

Kristyna Gabova; Jana Furstova; Peter Tavel – Journal of Research in Special Educational Needs, 2024
Wireless remote microphones (WRM) are used as secondary assistive listening devices for students with hearing aids or cochlear implants to limit the negative effects of noise and distance for understanding speech. WRM technology is not yet widespread in the Czech Republic. The aim of this study was to use teachers' perspectives to compare the…

Angelika Illg; Doris Adams; Anke Lesinski-Schiedat; Thomas Lenarz; Andrej Kral – Journal of Speech, Language, and Hearing Research, 2024
Objectives: The primary aim was to investigate the variability in language development in children aged 5-7.5 years after bilateral cochlear implantation (CI) up to the age of 2 years, and any impact of the age at implantation and additional noncognitive or anatomical disorders at implantation. Design: Data of 84 congenitally deaf children that…

Adel Saber Alanazi; Houcine Benlaria; Saad Awadh Alanazi – Education and Information Technologies, 2025
This study evaluated the impact of sustainable assistive technology (SAT) on the employment opportunities (EOs) of university graduates with disabilities (GwDs) in the Kingdom of Saudi Arabia (KSA) and examined whether government support (GS) acts as a mediating factor on said impact. A sample of 205 GwDs from five universities in the KSA…

Carly Humphries; James Mander; Lindsey Jones – Deafness & Education International, 2025
The acoustic characteristics typical of mainstream schools in England make it challenging for deaf or hard of hearing (DHH) children to perceive speech but assistive listening technologies can enhance speech perception. In this study, we explored decision making for the purchase and allocation of assistive listening technologies by heads of…

Ashraf Mustafa; Maxwell Peprah Opoku; Ahmed Hamdan; Mohammed Safi; Enas Mohamed – British Journal of Special Education, 2024
Students with disabilities such as visual impairment (VI) face challenges in accessing education, mainly owing to their inability to participate in learning activities in the classroom. While experts in special education have discussed the deployment of assistive technology (AT) to support the learning of students with VI, research on its impact…

Valentina Persici; Giulia Castelletti; Letizia Guerzoni; Domenico Cuda; Marinella Majorano – International Journal of Language & Communication Disorders, 2024
Background: Variability in the vocabulary outcomes of children with cochlear implants (CIs) is partially explained by child-directed speech (CDS) characteristics. Yet, relatively little is known about whether and how mothers adapt their lexical and prosodic characteristics to the child's hearing status (before and after implantation, and compared…

Olivier Valentin; Alexandre Lehmann; Don Nguyen; Sébastien Paquette – Journal of Speech, Language, and Hearing Research, 2024
Purpose: Postoperative rehabilitation programs for cochlear implant (CI) recipients primarily emphasize enhancing speech perception. However, effective communication in everyday social interactions necessitates consideration of diverse verbal social cues to facilitate language comprehension. Failure to discern emotional expressions may lead to…
