Purpose We developed and evaluated in a randomized controlled trial a computerized speechreading training program to determine (a) whether it is possible to train speechreading in deaf children and (b) whether speechreading training results in improvements in phonological and reading skills.

Learner-centered pedagogy may be defined as education rooted in the interests of students, their prior knowledge,...
