Writing and the clinical practice with deaf/hearing impaired children

Abstract

The aim of this study is to expose the results of a research that investigated the main theoretical – methodological transformations presented in the late years during clinical work on writing with deaf / hearing impaired children. From interviews with speech pathologists, the authors identified themes that were organized on a synthesis, that put together elements of different statements.The speech pathologists related that, nowadays, the writing work with deaf / hearing impaired children is not realized upon failures (morphosyntactic) observed on writing, but over the need that they feel of forming a reference system, so that deaf children can make sense from what they read and write. This sense is built on and by interdiscursivity.
