Abstract | Background: Deafness is the most common sensory impairment in human beings, with significant social and psychological implications. Several questionnaires were designed to evaluate the social and emotional abilities of English-speaking deaf children. This study's objective was to create Arabic questionnaires to assess the social abilities of Arabic-speaking Egyptian deaf children. Methods: Two Arabic questionnaires targeting social abilities were designed by selecting items from two English-based questionnaires and translating them into Arabic. The questionnaires were administered to 140 Egyptian children aged 3-12 years who were arranged into two age groups. They included 60 children with typical hearing, 60 deaf children fitted with hearing aids, and 20 children with cochlear implants. Results: Children with typical hearing showed the best performance with non-significant differences between cochlear implanted and hearing aided children. The best predictors of the social abilities of Egyptian deaf children were language age and severity of hearing loss. Conclusion: The designed Arabic questionnaires are valid and reliable functional assessment tools that can be used to evaluate and monitor the social performance of deaf children. (As Provided). |
