Correction of aggressive behavior in preschool children with hearing impairment

Abstract

Introduction. At present, the causes and methods of manifestation of aggression in children with hearing impairment are considered as an insufficiently studied problem, and the available studies are contradictory: the unified principles, methods and techniques for diagnosing and correcting aggressive behavior in children are insufficiently developed and substantiated. Severe emotional states, including aggression, are a fairly common occurrence in older preschool children with hearing impairment, when they realize their difference from their normal hearing peers. Household methods of dealing with aggression do not always help, often exacerbate the problem. Preventive and corrective work should be based on the means available for understanding by children of preschool age. Fairy tale therapy has effective methods and techniques in correctional and developmental work with children with hearing impairment in work with manifestations of aggression.Materials and Methods.
