NYSTCE Safety Net Blind and Visually Impaired CST - Free Test Sample Questions

Under IDEA, what disability category is associated with a complete or partial loss of hearing?

Correct Answer:
hearing impairment category.


under the individuals with disabilities education act (idea), a federal law in the united states, there are specific categories defined to help classify the types of disabilities that may affect children's ability to learn and receive a free appropriate public education. idea specifies 13 disability categories under which children may be eligible for special education and related services.

one of these categories is the "hearing impairment" category. this category specifically addresses disabilities associated with a complete or partial loss of hearing that adversely affects a child's educational performance but is not included under the category of deafness. hearing impairment can range from mild to severe and may impact the ability to hear and process information from spoken language.

the distinction between the "hearing impairment" category and other categories such as "deafness" is important. deafness refers specifically to a severe hearing impairment where a child's hearing is so impaired that it impacts the processing of linguistic information through hearing, with or without amplification. thus, while both categories deal with hearing issues, the severity and educational needs may differ.

therefore, for a child with a complete or partial loss of hearing, the appropriate idea category would generally be "hearing impairment." this category ensures that students receive accommodations and modifications necessary to access the curriculum effectively, which might include services such as sign language interpreters, assistive listening devices, and specialized instruction tailored to their needs.
