Sažetak
This chapter provides an overview of deaf education in Croatia, focusing on the current educational context and communication options for deaf and hard-of-hearing students. After a brief overview of the history of deaf education in the country, which dates back to the 1830s, the author provides essential demographic information and educational placement options for these students. Related challenges are covered, specifically the lack of evidence- based policy regarding teaching methodology. The Deaf community and Deaf culture in Croatia are discussed. Research studies outlining the language and literacy problems of deaf students in Croatia, as well as the socioemotional issues of deaf children, are presented.
