I.はじめに 現在わが国において普及発展の途上にある難聴学級についてまずその歴史と概要について簡単に述べたいと思う。 従来,普通児における普通小学校とろう児におけるろう学校とは,種々の面で一応完備の状態にあるが,第1図に示すように,普通児とろう児の中間的な存在である中等度難聴および一部の高度難聴児で,しかも現在の医学では治療の困難な難聴児については長い間教育上の何らの対策も講じられないままに放置されていた。

Up to May 1972, classes for the hard of hearing in primary schools were housed in 67 schools in our country. The education for children with hearing impairment begins at the earliest practical age. In Japan, however, there are only a few auditory training institutions for pre-school children with hearing impairment.In April 1969, we established a “the Hearing and Speech Clinic for Deaf Infants” at the “Omotoryo” or a domitory for deaf children in Okayama City, supported by the prefectural and national government.In this publication, we report our experience and observations made during a three-year period, and emphasize next points:1) Such a clinic plays very important part in establishing an early diagnosis and offering guidance to infants with speech returdation.2) The auditory training of deaf infants is best managed under visiting clinic system. Such handicapped infants need social contacts and mingling with normal children for achieving essential education.3) Such clinic should be financially unencumbered and probably should be under government support.4) To attack talents as trainers for such handicapped infants there is a need for establishing the trainers in a more prestigious position.
