Volta Review, v96 n3 p207-36 Sum 1994

A survey was conducted of 100 graduates (ages 7-17) of an auditory/oral Australian preschool for children with hearing impairments (92 integrated with hearing peers and 8 segregated). Most children perceived their academic progress to be average or above; nearly all received audiological support; over one-third received speech therapy and integration assistance; two-thirds had mostly normal-hearing friends.
