Pupils with cochlear implant in physical education class: review of recent scientific data and guidelines for development of individualized education programs

A comprehensive review of the existing scientific literature provides aninsight into the size of the population and various anthropologicalfeatures of children with a cochlear implant (CI) who are integrated in aregular school system. Technical characteristics of a CI are shown togetherwith the potential of technical tools such as FM systems (frequency-modulated) and their use in physical education (PE) classes. Integration of recent findings on various characteristics ofchildrenwith a CI (medical, physical, communication, speech and language), specificsof motor activities listed in standard PE curriculum and features of the CI device itself has madeit possible toestablish elaborate guidelines for the creation of individualized education programs(IEP) for children with a CI in the inclusive education setting. The proposed guidelines will enable PE teachers to prepare for teaching children with CI and tomodify curriculumandteaching strategies in accordance with individualcharacteristics of pupils with CI, and in respect of their diverse special education needs (SEN). It is suggested that IEPs are created through the adjustment of the curriculum content and teaching methods, application of the security measures as well as by technical adjustment of teaching using the FM system.
