Importance of awareness
“Yeah uh, with D. the most important thing is that uhm, the directly involved people notice that he really is missing something.
Because … it lookes like he always hears everything...
But … it’s very tricky, if you talk with him alone he understands a lot … while in class he really misses a lot of the interaction….”

Teacher behaviour = Model behaviour“The teacher can do a lot of little things. Repeat
the question of a child for example, uh, that’s very important.
A teacher might also say occasionally, uhm … “Could you turn to D.?” And when a teacher just now and then says “Wait a moment, could you repeat that please?” or “I’ll write it on the blackboard”, it’s remarkable that children subconsiously copy this behaviour”. In that way the teacher provides a natural model.

INTERVIEWS RATING SCALE CONCLUSIONS
Teachers:
“Awareness of impact of hearing loss is increased by answering questionnaire”
ICED 2010 Inclusion Rating Scale HOH Children Annemiek Voor in 't holt
No correlation inclusion score / duration PS Introduction of environmental scale does more
justice to principles of inclusion and stimulates engagement of environment
Research group too small for firm conclusions Promising results, further studies needed
