摘要

近年来，听障儿童语言剥夺综合征作为一个新概念被提出并受到关注。语言剥夺综合征是指个体在语言发展关键期未充分接触自然语言，引发系列认知和行为障碍症状。避免听障儿童语言剥夺的根本途径是提供自然且无障碍的早期语言输入。当前我国听障儿童的早期语言发展存在语言教育理念因循守旧、口语康复效果难以有效预测、家庭早期语言输入质量不理想等困境。为促进听障儿童的身心健康发展，应加快学前融合教育高质量发展进程、构建协同育人综合支持体系、优化听力语言干预策略。

Abstract

In recent years

Language Deprivation Syndrome in hearing-impaired children has been proposed as a new concept and has attracted considerable attention. Language Deprivation Syndrome refers to a condition where an individual lacks sufficient exposure to any natural language during the critical period of language development

resulting in a subsequent series of cognitive and behavioral challenges. The fundamental approach to preventing hearing-impaired children from facing the risk of language deprivation is to provide them with natural and accessible early language input. Currently

early language development for hearing-impaired children in China faces multiple challenges in three aspects: outdated language education concepts

difficulty in effectively predicting speech rehabilitation outcomes

and significant challenges in early language input. To promote the healthy physical and psychological development of hearing-impaired children

it is recommended to accelerate the development of high-quality preschool inclusive education

establish a comprehensive collaborative education support system for hearing-impaired children

and optimize intervention training strategies.
