A Comparison of the Health Knowledge of Hearing-Impaired and Hearing High School Students.

Kleinig, Daniel; Mohay, Heather

American Annals of the Deaf, v135 n3 p246-51 Jul 1990

This study found that the level of health knowledge of 139 hearing Australian students, ages 12-18, was superior to that of 66 hearing-impaired students. However, health knowledge of hearing-impaired students increased markedly from grade 8 to grade 12, so that by grade 12 they were achieving only marginally below their hearing peers. (Author/JDD)
