“…Sometimes it can be due to traumatic experience like stigmatization, criticism and societal rejection and sometimes it becomes due to high risk of sexually and physically abuse [27]. These problems affected their emotional well-being badly and usually they become depressed [28]. These factors become continuous stressors of their lives and mostly these factors cause frustration which gradually changes into aggression.…”

Present study aims to investigate the prevalence of emotional disturbance among children with hearing impairment and intellectually disabled. Sample of 67 children was collected from different rehabilitation centers of Karachi, Pakistan. Intellectually disabled were 35 and with hearing impairment were 32 children. Sample age range was 12 to 18 years with mean age of 14.98 years. One to one session was conducted with parents in order to get history of presenting problem of the child. After getting demographic information, proper instructions were given to a child and then Human Figure Drawing Test (HFD, Koppitz) was administered individually. Data was scored according to manual and was statistically analyzed. Findings reported the prevalence of emotional disturbance was found statistically significant in both intellectually disabled and children with hearing impairment. Further protocols showed various indications of psychiatric disorders i.e. poor integration of personality, intense anxieties, feeling of insecurity and hopelessness, aggression, impulsivity and poor self-image. It is concluded that intellectually disabled and children with hearing impairment are at high risk of emotional disturbance that is valid indication of psychiatric disorders.

“…Caregivers of DHH children experience higher rates of parenting stress compared to parents of typically hearing children (Scarinci et al, 2018), This begins at the time of initial diagnosis, as caregivers often experience significant shock and grief while trying to decide if/how to learn sign language, pursue hearing assistive devices, and familiarize themselves with Deaf culture and special education. Hearing parents of DHH children often describe feeling overwhelmed, isolated, and confused about their best options for supporting their child (Mathos & Broussard, 2005). Caregivers also report receiving conflicting information from medical teams, and want more manageable, clear information (Young et al, 2006) to help them feel more empowered and less stressed (Young & Tattersall, 2005).…”

reviews what is known about psychopathology and neurodevelopmental outcomes in deaf/hard of hearing (DHH) children, identifies current research and clinical gaps, and presents a model of care for integrating psychology into pediatric otolaryngology/audiology clinics that serve DHH patients and their families. Methods: This manuscript uses a literature review and clinical reflection/peer collaboration to develop a model of integrated psychological services for pediatric psychologists in otolaryngology/audiology clinics. Results: DHH children and their families often require support beyond the traditional focus on speech/language delays. Additional concerns include increased rates of co-occurring psychological conditions (e.g., anxiety, depression), early and potentially persistent changes in neurological/neurobehavioral functioning with or without atypical language development, high levels of caregiver-reported distress, and additional medical complexities. Conclusions: Traditionally, models of multidisciplinary care for DHH children have centered on a triad of otolaryngologists, audiologists, and speech/language pathologists. However, the reviewed data clearly show these models leave numerous unmet needs that psychologists can help address. Incorporating psychologists into pediatric otolaryngology/audiology clinic settings that serve DHH patients is an essential ingredient in high-quality care that helps meet the needs of the "whole child."Implications for Impact Statement DHH children and families are an at-risk and underserved group that frequently interacts with the pediatric health care system. This paper presents the first model of care for integrating psychologists into the medical/audiological settings that serve these patients.

“…Approximately 90 percent of hearing-impaired children are born to hearing parents (Weisel and Zandberg 2002). For many of these parents, the diagnosis is traumatic, and their initial responses to it can range from shock and denial to anger, anxiety, helplessness, or depression (Harvey 1989;Meadow-Orlans, Mertens, and Sass-Lehrer 2003;Mathos and Broussard 2005;Young and Tattersall 2007). Realizing that their child can be rehabilitated therefore brings hope and comfort to parents.…”

The concept of the false self has been used widely in psychoanalytic theory and practice but seldom in empirical research. In this empirically based study, elevated features of false-self defense were hypothetically associated with risk factors attendant on processes of rehabilitation and integration of children with disabilities, processes that encourage adaptation of the child to the able-bodied environment. Self-report questionnaires and in-depth interviews were conducted with 88 deaf and hard-of-hearing students and a comparison group of 88 hearing counterparts. Results demonstrate that despite the important contribution of rehabilitation and integration to the well-being of these children, these efforts may put the child at risk of increased use of the false-self defense. The empirical findings suggest two general theoretical conclusions: (1) The Winnicottian concept of the environment, usually confined to the parent-child relationship, can be understood more broadly as including cultural, social, and rehabilitational variables that both influence the parent-child relationship and operate independently of it. (2) The monolithic conceptualization of the false self may be more accurately unpacked to reveal two distinct subtypes: the compliant and the split false self.
