Considerations in Implementing Program of Identification and Evaluation of Deaf Persons (Birth � Twenty-One) in Texas*

Eight deaf children produced each of nine sentences. F 0 measures were obtained at several locations within each utterance (starting F 0 , peak F 0 , peak F 0 in the final syllable, and final F 0 ). The relative timing of each F 0 measure (ms from onset of the utterance) was also determined. In addition, several difference measures were derived. Listeners experienced with the speech of the deaf were asked to judge whether they heard a terminal fall, rise, or a flat final intonation contour in each utterance. A multiple linear regression analysis was used to determine if any combination of the acoustic measures could predict listeners’ responses. The only variable that made a significant contribution to the regression function was the temporal interval between the terminal peak F 0 and the final F 0 . That is, the more slowly the contour fell the more likely listeners were to perceive the contour as flat, regardless of the amount (in Hz or percentage F 0 ) by which it fell. The regression equation accounted for a statistically significant but not large proportion of the total variance. This suggests that other variables, not measured in this study, play an important role in the perception of utterance final intonation contours in the speech of the deaf.

Comparison of the thresholds of body sensation of profoundly deaf subjects and those of normal hearing, when exposed to intense low frequency noise, showed similar trends. Since the deaf subjects were judged to have normal balance mechanisms, it was concluded that the semicircular canals are not sensitive to low frequency noise at its normal levels in the environment.

<p><em>The condition of special school for the deaf and the deaf itself are still apprehensive, especially in Bekasi, West Java. Meanwhile, deaf persons still need to get an education which equivalent to the education that normal children get. However, education for children with special needs, especially those with hearing impairment, requires special implementations based on deaf’s characteristics in some design aspects in order to improve physical and psychological comfort required by deaf students so they can be more comfortable adapting to school circumstances. Design method that seems appropriate to be applied to this special school for the deaf is psychological architecture approach that focuses on the characteristics of the deaf itself. Psychological architecture as design method that used in this special school is adjusted to the characteristics of hearing impaired in order to improve the quality of physical and psychological comfort of deaf students in the learning process and activities by applying the principles of psychological architecture on site analysis, school layout arrangement, and also the appearance of interior and exterior of special school for the deaf.</em></p>

"How does understanding occur in encounters of living beings? What is experienced by the interaction partners and what happens in the ‘In-Between’? And how can this be captured? In this paper an enactive approach to interaction is proposed with the focus on reciprocal intercorporeal attunement and co-creation of meaning in a specific environment. As alternative framework this approach is applied to the interaction of d/Deaf persons and animals. In the interaction with an animal, verbal communication - which is challenging for d/Deaf persons - is of secondary importance, so this frame is well suited to focus on intercorporeal attunement. In the interaction discourse regarding d/Deaf persons as well as Human-Animal-Interaction the assessment of the interaction process as such and embodied research methodologies are scarcely to be found. With the enactive approach new perspectives on the mechanisms of interaction and the influencing conditions can be opened as well as new approaches to respective research options.
