C
Feedback:
Communication and safety are major issues for families with hearing-impaired children, and promoting communication is critical. The nurse should teach family caregivers to remove limitations in the surrounding environment and to promote independent functioning for children with visual impairment. Children with impaired hearing face the related problem of poor speech development. Computers are especially valuable for children with speech disorders.
