A review of the evidence for a learning-disabled, hearing-impaired sub-group.
Hearing-impaired students are known to encounter significant difficulty achieving appreciable levels of academic achievement. Recently, many professionals have advanced the concept that some hearing-impaired students' lag in achievement may owe to learning disabilities in addition to hearing impairment. Definitional differences, survey data and studies are discussed in an exploration of whether or not a discernible hearing-impaired-learning-disabled sub-group exists.
