METHODOLOGIES FOR AN INNOVATIVE EDUCATION: BILINGUALISM AND INCLUSION

Francesca Latino

Abstract


Despite promising developments in the education of deaf and hard of hearing (DHH) students, their achievement continues to lag behind that of their hearing peers. DHH are often attending special school or, if they are placed in common classes, they frequently experience isolation and exclusion. Thus, the aim of this article was to investigate the impact of a Classroom Physical Activity Break intervention integrated into Italian language Sign-LIS/Italian Language Bilingual program on academic achievement among DHH and hearing students.


Keywords
