Abstract

In this study, we explore various techniques used to increase student participation in special education classes for students with hearing problems. Our research examines how the teaching methods are used among public and private schools to build inclusive learning settings in depth. The report concludes that three main factors contribute significantly towards students’ engagement they include: total communication, interactive instruction modes, and personalized consideration. Additionally, this study highlights the influence of differing organizations of school funding on instructional differentiation and assistive technologies availability. As a result, recommendations have been made to strengthen professional development programs; ensure equitable distribution of resources and promote technological advancement for better learning experiences by students with hearing impairments.
