Play therapy objectives and information and communication technologies for people with hearing impairment functions are identified in the first part of this article. There are many benefic aspects of using computers during therapeutic approaches when working with persons with hearing impairments. The research presents the results from 108 hearing impaired students evaluated with Verbal Comprehension Probe from Sibiu, non-verbal probe for auditory memory, auditory discrimination and sounds discrimination. During intervention the following programs were used: Detektiv Langohr, Paint Editor and Visual Stimulation Software. Conclusions reflect the improvements the students made in the following areas: digital competences, internet access and flexible perceptive-cognitive styles. Information and communication technologies can be used during the therapeutic activities in the benefit of students with hearing impairment.
On the basis of electrophysiological and neuropsychological investigations the existence of cerebral hemispheric dominance has been established. Thus, a certain psycho-behavioural function may not be equally governed by either the left or the right hemisphere, a tendency towards lateralization coming into play (Sperri, 1974; Arseni, Golu, Dănăilă, 1983; Funnell, Carballis, Gazzanga, 2000). The functional asymmetry of the analysers is encountered both at the peripheral level, through the sensory-motor lateralization of paired receptors, and at the cortical level, through the asymmetrical functioning of the cerebral hemispheres. Consequently, tests for hemispheric dominance, as well as tests for lateralization must, respectively, be employed. When examining cerebral hemispheric dominance and lateralization, the characteristics of the organs under investigation are taken into account, and so is the age of the subjects. The examination of functional asymmetry in the case of analyzers with paired receptors has relied on an impressive number of trials, procedures, tests and questionnaires on lateralization, all suitable for the subjects’ age and for the psycho-physiological characteristics of the respective couple of paired organs. The combined use of lateralization tests specifically adapted for all paired organs (hand, eye, is essential in order to establish the degree of lateralization homogeneity. The examinations and the calculation of the laterality index are to be done periodically, the results being recorded in a chart that reflects the evolution of lateralization as a result of engaging the child in various activities meant for a specific type of lateralization.
The present study, in the first part offers one synthesis of psycho-pedagogical eheory-scientific validateselaborated by Vygotski, Feuerstein, Bruner and Audy. In experimental part, the study offers an analysis of the psychological, pedagogical and didactics approaches and methods utilizing for development of authentic cognitive potential of the pupils. From a scientific point of view, at the root of the theoretical and pragmatic approach to educational processes meant to foster integration lies the undeniable truth that instructional systems and practices must activate the genuine psychological potential of each and every child. Educational reforms in inclusive education, when based on teamwork, require the employment of a socialconstructivist and psycho-pedagogical theory and framework combined with the presence of highlyspecialised practitioners.
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
