ACTUAL PROBLEMS OF SENSORY EDUCATION OF EARLY AGE CHILDREN WITH HEARING IMPAIRMENT IN THE EARLY INTERVENTION SERVICE

Abstract

. The article discusses issues that justify the relevance of sensory education of early age children with hearing impairment in the early intervention service. Statistics on the Republic of Yakutia show the stability of the number of early age children with hearing impairment, including those in need of cochlear implantation. The work describes experience of providing early correctional and pedagogical assistance to children of this group and their families in early intervention departments. The need to educate a family raising an early child with hearing impairment and to organise a subject-developmental environment for the sensory development of children is emphasised. The survey of parents reveals an insufficient level of formation of their pedagogical competence. The analysis of the study helps draw a conclusion about the need for correctional and pedagogical work on sensory education of early age children with hearing impairment in the early intervention service.
