Abstract
This study aimed to examine sign recognition in children with hearing impairment ages 6 - 9 years old from Al-Zarqa city in Jordan. Public signs were shown to the children and they were asked to say what the sign represented. Results were that children have difficulty recognizing a sign’s meaning, as reflected in their answers. Results also showed that children can identify iconic signs like a mosque the most, and the index of a skull for danger or symbol such as the letter H to indicate a hospital the least. For signs they did not correctly identify, they viewed the sign as a picture, not a sign that has meaning. The study shows hearing impaired children’s familiarity with signs in public spaces.
