Dr. Sharmista
Abstract :
Deafness or hearing loss is a partial or total inability to hear. Childhood deafness is a common chronic condition that may have a major impact on sensory motor development. Deafness is a world–wide problem that causes the most serious limitation that can befall a child, as it prevents his optimal development. It has to be viewed as a multifaceted condition as a variety of factors determines the effect of deafness on child’s development. The focus of evaluation and treatment for these children is primarily on the language development. Therefore in order to minimize the adverse effects on normal development of hearing disorders, it is crucial to carry out screening examinations and appropriate interventions of sensory and motor deficits, which enable early detection of these dysfunctions, which are often either not noticed or under estimated. It is also important to re–evaluate sensory motor function in these children during the course of their childhood in order to assure early intervention.
