W jaki sposób można wspomagać rozwój umiejętności podzielania uwagi przez głuche dziecko słyszących rodziców?

Abstract

The phenomenon of joined attention, i.e. the ability to coordinate attention between the objects of joined attention and another person, is important for the social, cognitive, and emotional development of a deaf and hearing child. A deaf child enters episodes of joined attention differently than a hearing child: a deaf child cannot simultaneously receive language communicates and direct the sight towards the object of joined attention. Deaf mothers adapt to the specific needs of deaf children during the episodes of joined attention by using the sequential schema of dividing attention as well as various strategies of proper division of attention. However, hearing mothers encounter problems during early interactions with deaf children. It is recommended that hearing parents emulate natural behaviours of deaf mothers during the episodes of joined attention with deaf children.
