Question
What documents or proof do hearing-impaired children need to provide when applying for assistance from the Disabled Persons’ Federation each year?
Answer
Before applying for assistance from the Disabled Persons’ Federation, hearing-impaired children must first obtain a hearing impairment diagnosis certificate from a diagnostic institution. Based on this certificate, they can then apply for assistance with the Disabled Persons’ Federation. From memory, children with disabilities, orphans, or intellectual disabilities are eligible for state-provided assistance. Hearing impairment refers to varying degrees of hearing loss in both ears due to various reasons, which makes it difficult for these children to hear or understand sounds and speech in their environment, affecting their daily lives and social participation. The classification of hearing loss is based on the average degree of hearing loss and the structure, function, activity, and participation of the auditory system, as well as environmental support factors.
