IDEA defines deafness as Severe loss of hearing with impaired
ability to process linguistic information through hearing, with or without amplifications.
IDEA defines hearing impairment as a loss of hearing, whether permanent or
fluctuating that adversely affects educational performance but that is not included under the definition of deafness.

at 0 to 20 db.Types of hearing loss include
conductive sensorineural mixed central auditory processing disorder

IDEA defines visual impairments including blindness to mean an impairment in vision that, even with correction, adversely affects a child’s educational performance.
Degree of visual loss is described according to visual acuity and visual field

Blindness as defined by IDEA and legal blindness are not the same.
Deaf-blindness means concomitant hearing and visual
impairments, the combination of which causes such severe communication and other developmental and education needs that can be accommodated in special programs solely for children with deafness or blindness.

Most children with sensory impairments will be identified very soon after birth. Most states use universal newborn
hearing screening procedures. Pediatricians are most likely to
determine that a child has a visual impairment and will then refer them to the state’s Child Find services.

According to the U.S. Department of Education, there are relatively few individuals with sensory impairments eligible for public school special education services.
Services for students with sensory impairments may be provided in different types of settings.

Academic and Cognitive Performance Many are academically gifted and
talented. For others, conditions that occur
during prenatal development that result in sensory impairments can affect central nervous system development and impact cognitive development and learning ability.

Academic and Cognitive Performance Acquisition of literacy skills may be
impacted for children with hearing impairments.
Students who are blind are particularly challenged in learning concepts that are difficult to comprehend without vision.

Behavior Performance and Social Skills Social skills will often be impacted
because of a lack of experience resulting from the student’s sensory loss.
Spontaneous relationships and friendships may not occur as frequently as for others.
