Objective: Research suggests that children with hearing impairments are more vulnerable to emotional and behavioral challenges. The current study aims to determine the effectiveness of cognitive rehabilitation (CR) therapy on behavioral problems and emotional self-regulation (ESR) in children with hearing impairment.
Methods: A quasi-experimental study was conducted with a pre-test-post-test design and a control group. A convenient sampling method was used to select 24 girls, ages 7 to 11 years (mean age=9.17±3.32 years) with hearing impairment. Subjects were randomly assigned to the experimental and control groups, each consisting of 12 girls. The experimental group received ten CR therapy sessions. Data were collected using two measures: The Conners’ parent rating scale (CPRS) and the ESR questionnaire. Multivariate analysis of covariance (MANCOVA) was used to analyze the data.
Results: The results revealed that the CR program significantly affects behavioral problems and ESR of children with hearing impairment (P<0.05).
Conclusion: Children with hearing problems improved in behavioral problems and ESR following the CR program. Therefore, providing a CR program for these children is particularly important.
