Area of Science:
- Education
- Psychology
- Disability Studies
Background:
- Social support is crucial for students' competence and enjoyment of school.
- Limited research exists on social support for students with sensory disabilities.
- This review focuses on hearing and visual impairments.
Purpose of the Study:
- To synthesize existing research on school social support for students with hearing and visual impairments.
- To identify gaps in the literature regarding social support for students with sensory disabilities.
Main Methods:
- A comprehensive literature search of computerized databases.
- A manual search of bibliographies from key publications.
Main Results:
- All students require adequate support devices and trained teachers.
- Visually impaired students report better resource availability than hearing-impaired students.
- Students in regular schools and senior secondary levels report higher resource availability.
Conclusions:
- While all students need support, disparities exist for those with sensory disabilities.
- Further research is essential to understand and improve social support for these students.
