Parents have little concern<br>about the holistic growth and development of their children with hearing<br>disability. This study aspires to delineate the parental practice and experience in<br>dealing with behavioural problems of their children with hearing-impairments<br>in a Special School in Kano State, Nigeria. This study employed a qualitative<br>case study design in which interviews and observation were used to collect<br>the data. Purposeful sampling was utilised in selecting three fathers and three<br>mothers of children with hearing impairment. Data was recorded, transcribed<br>and thematically analysed in which categories were identified and generated.<br>The findings accentuated several major themes and categories of parental<br>practice and their experiences, which have to do with counselling the children<br>with hearing impairment. Parental experience includes the judgment of others<br>in the family and based on the findings, the researchers provide discernments to<br>parents, their children with hearing impairment, and the immediate community<br>where such children live.</p>}, number={S I #2}, journal={Intellectual Discourse}, author={Mastura Badzis and Rabiu Garba Idris}, year={2019}, month={Dec.}, pages={899–921} }
