Abstract

This study examines writing skills of 25 hearing impaired students who attend mainstream schools at 4th, 5th, 6th, 7th and 8th grades and factors which might be effective on writing skill levels. The effective factors included degree of hearing loss, the age of onset of hearing aid use, duration of hearing aid use and chronological age. Descriptive and relational models were used for analyzing data. Descriptive data were analyzed using mean, standart deviation and coefficient of variation then interpreted. Relational data were analyzed using simple or multiple lineer regression and Pearson correlation coefficient. Findings show that all areas of the writing skills of the hearing impaired children were insufficient to some extend. Degree of hearing loss and the age starting use of the hearing aids explains 81% of variation in writing skills. The relation between the chronological age and the writing skill levels was not significant.
