Response:
Immature emotional behavior would be seen most frequently in children with hearing impairments because the inability to hear affects the socialization process and causes social problems for the child, inhibiting normal development. Self-stimulatory actions, inattention, vacant stare, head tilt, or forward thrust are typical behaviors of visually impaired children.
