Effectiveness of Curriculum in Teaching Deaf Student Independent Living Skills: Special Education Teachers Perspective
Abstract
The main purpose of this study was to analyze the current practices of curriculum for independent living skills. 50 teacher’s opinion were taken from different school of Punjab special education department. The results show that the current syllabus is not up the mark to teach independent living skills for hearing impairment so they can get a job and earn easily. Mostly teachers agree that there is need to be focus on their independent living and rehabilitation rather than academics. Government should make a comprehensive plan for their independent living. One of the greatest impediments to independent living for special person in Pakistan is a lack of policy initiative. Deaf people are among the low paid community because of their disabilities. The majority of people with disabilities are hired as low-level employees such as office assistants, errand runners, messengers, computer operators, typists, and vocational teachers in schools for the deaf, or to work in advertising agencies.
