Total communication (TC) aids speech development in deaf preschoolers. Sign language combined with speech enhances hearing and lip-reading skills, promoting earlier and more robust language acquisition for improved cognitive and social outcomes.

Area of Science:

Pediatric audiology
Developmental psychology
Linguistics

Background:

The efficacy of different communication modalities for deaf children remains a critical area of research.
Understanding the impact of early language intervention on cognitive and social development is essential.

Purpose of the Study:

To evaluate the effect of total communication (TC), incorporating sign language and speech, on speech development in preschool deaf children.
To investigate whether TC facilitates earlier and more comprehensive language acquisition compared to oral methods.

Main Methods:

A program utilizing total communication (TC) was implemented with preschool deaf children.
Speech development, language acquisition milestones, and the use of residual hearing and lip-reading were assessed.

Related Experiment Videos

Cognitive and social development implications were considered.

Main Results:

Total communication did not impede speech development in deaf preschoolers.
Sign language exposure facilitated the acquisition of communicative oral speech.
Children in the TC program demonstrated earlier and more extensive language development compared to orally trained peers.

Conclusions:

Total communication, integrating sign language and speech, supports robust language development in young deaf children.
This approach may mitigate cognitive delays and positively influence long-term educational and social outcomes.
TC programs can normalize family dynamics and child-rearing experiences.
