ABSTRACT

The purpose of this study is to design the collaborative school-home comprehensive development program, and to determine its impact on verbal and social communication skills of deaf children with severe and multiple disabilities. Three children and their three mothers from one special- education in city D were selected as the subjects of the study, in accordance with the chronological age and adaptive behavior quotient. Upon study, collaborative school-home comprehensive development program had some favorable influences on improvement in verbal and social communication skills of deaf children with severe and multiple disabilities. In verbal aspect, ‘responding’ skills improved more than ‘requesting’ skills, and in social aspect, ‘concentrating’ skills improved more than ‘obeying’ skills. Such results suggest that the collaborative school-home comprehensive development program is effective strategy to improve communication skills of deaf children with severe and multiple disabilities.
