Communication Intervention: Strategies for Parents and Teachers of Children with Hearing Impairment Lawrence Eron

communication problems are not only a concern to the families of a child with hearing impairment but to the school and community where the child spends most of their daytime as well. Unfortunately, working with functional communication of children with hearing impairment in Uganda has been waiting until the child joins school. This publication identifies these challenges and opportunities that are available for early communication intervention for children with hearing impairment in Uganda. It recommends practical ways to enhance functional communication between a child with hearing impairment and the surrounding peers and adults. The experiences generated through this study are plausible opportunities for other countries.
