Abstract

The aim of this study was to assess the effectiveness of a play-based therapeutic program in alleviating attention-deficit/ hyperactivity in children with hearing impairments, by assessing the program’s impact on modifying the behavior of these children. A specialized therapeutic program was designed that incorporates therapeutic play methods adapted to the specific type of disability (hearing impairment in children. It aims to reduce hyperactivity and increase attention and concentration levels in this group, The current study adopted a quasi-experimental design due to its suitability for the nature of the study. Clinical observation, interviews, and pre- and post-tests were used to measure the children’s behavior from the perspectives of parents and teachers using the Conners Scale (Laban Hamadi, 2018). The sample included six (6) cases—five girls and one boy—enrolled in a special school for children with hearing impairments in the province of Ain Temouchent, with ages ranging from 8 to 13 years. The Raven’s Intelligence Test was also administered to ensure a homogeneous sample. After implementing the play-based therapeutic program, a post-test was conducted using the same scale to evaluate the program’s effectiveness in reducing hyperactivity and inattention in children with hearing impairments. After a period of implementing the program, we also administered the same scale in a follow-up assessment to determine whether the program maintained its effectiveness. The following results were obtained: - There were statistically significant differences between the mean scores of the experimental group on the pre-test and post-test after implementing the therapeutic program on the Conners Teacher Rating Scale and the Conners Parent Rating Scale. - There were no statistically significant differences between the mean scores of the experimental group on the pre-test and follow-up test after implementing the intervention program, as measured by the Conners Teacher and Parent Rating Scales. This demonstrates that the therapeutic program is effective in reducing hyperactivity and inattention among children with hearing impairments. Finally, the scientific contributions of this study were presented, along with recommendations and suggestions.
