СОЦИОКУЛЬТУРНАЯ ИНТЕГРАЦИИ ЛЮДЕЙ С НАРУШЕНИЯМИ СЛУХА

Abstract

The article touches upon the problem of socio-cultural integration of people with hearing impairments. It is noted that the most important aspect for people with disabilities is the creation of conditions for joint activities with society in such areas as education, leisure, labor, socio-political and other activities. One of the most important means of communication and information transmission is language. For hearing impaired people such a means of communication is the Russian Sign Language (RSL), the development of which in Russia is given great attention. Socio-cultural integration makes it possible to ensure the adaptation of persons with hearing impairments where there is a speech environment for them and a wide speech practice among children and adolescents, including outside the educational process. One of the conditions for the accessibility of education for people with hearing impairments at all levels is the support of the educational process with translation into sign language, which is accompanied by a number of problems related to the lack of a sufficient number of translators in Russia, especially in the cultural sector, as well as the level of their qualifications and specialization. One of the most effective tools for the social integration of hearing impaired people has become the network of inclusive creative laboratories (ITL), created in 2021 as part of the implementation of the federal initiative “Invented in Russia”. At the moment, 114 ITLs, operating on the basis of cultural organizations, carry out their activities in most regions of the Russian Federation.
