Science at KS1 and hearing impairment

The effects of hearing impairment have a similar impact throughout the key stages. Read the information on challenges faced by hearing impaired children across the curriculum and at all levels, plus the suggestions for inclusion. Also read the issues relating to science at P levels 4-8.

 You can

• Allow the pupil more time when working with materials and hand-outs, as they cannot look at both the teacher and the resource.
• Science is a practical and co-operative subject so support group work. A checklist with a sequence of stages will help.
• Support other pupils to work with the child.
