Educational Considerations for At-Risk/Marginal Students Who Are Deaf or Hard of Hearing
1Teachers College, Columbia University, New York.
Abstract:
The teaching of children who are at risk, marginally deaf, or hard of hearing is considered in this article, primarily from the framework provided by Ogbu (1990), Sinclair and Ghory (1990), Cromer (1993), and the contemporary writings of others working with multiethnic populations of children who are hearing and hearing-impaired. Emphasis is put on the social constructive nature of this complex phenomenon, the heterogeneity (both inter- and intraculturally) of the populations involved, and some of the processes that students go through in becoming marginalized. Finally, consideration is given to how one might address some of the problems of educating these children. Descriptions and examples of some successful intervention projects are presented.
