Retos y barreras que enfrenta una persona con discapacidad auditiva desde la óptica del cuidador

Abstract

Hearing impairment is a sensory disability, which by nature presents more common barriers related to communication, from the first years of life a child with this disability faces many challenges which are not only theirs but also those of their family who have to face in this exclusionary and discriminatory society, The objective of this work is to show the challenges and challenges faced by a person with hearing impairment from the perspective of the caregiver. This research is done from a qualitative approach; a case study, where the most significant results show that every day a person with a disability faces many challenges and barriers and that the caregiver is a fundamental support to overcome not only the communication barriers in this case, but also the attitudinal barriers of society, it also highlights how new creative ways of communicating have been constructed in order to eliminate barriers and give participation to this deaf person, however, as a society there is still a lack of more human sensitivity, more empathy, more support networks that contribute to closing the gap of social exclusion.
