PE: hearing impairment at P level 4

The child with a hearing impairment may have difficulty understanding instructions, following rules, interacting with other children and working as part of a team.

You can:

• Ensure instructions are clear, kept to a minimum and given out near to and facing the pupil
• Support instructions with visual prompts – which could be photographs of the skill required or symbols of what to do, as appropriate
• Restrict general class instructions to quieter moments
• Ensure the whole class understands the need to speak clearly, be flexible when working in teams and be tolerant of misunderstanding
