"If programs are to provide quality education for D/HH students in inclusive settings, they need to provide means for these students to achieve academic and social intergration."

Social Interaction

Social peer interaction for kids in general is important for developing communication skills and develping social skills. Deaf children in mainstream classrooms don't automaticlly gain these skills. Deaf students can feel isolated because of the communication barriers they face. Limited communication can make it hard to develop friendships with other students. Due to isolation Deaf kids may experience bullying due to them being diffrent, especially if they are the only deaf student.
