The Integration into the School System of Deaf Children Who Have Mental Health Problems

by Aurèle Bertrand and Johanne Venne-Brisebois

Two educators, one hearing and one deaf, will share their knowledge of the mental health of deaf and hard of hearing students integrated into French schools in Ontario. The mental health problems of deaf and hard of hearing children at home and at school will be described. The presenters will offer personal testimonials, one from life experience living with deafness, the other from work with deaf and hard of hearing students. A socio-political analysis of the context will conclude the presentation.
