Abstract
نظرًا لحواجز الاتصال، يواجه الأطفال الصم غالبًا عقبات كبيرة عندما يتعلق الأمر بالتكامل الاجتماعي. يعد تعليم لغة الإشارة أو استخدام التكنولوجيا المساعدة من الركائز الأساسية للنهج التقليدية لهذه المشكلة. ومع ذلك، يمكن أيضًا تعزيز الإدماج بشكل كبير من خلال دمج الإشارات والرموز المرئية المرتبطة بفقدان السمع في البيئة المادية. تبحث دراستنا في كيفية مساعدة تصميمات الأثاث الإبداعية المستوحاة من رموز فقدان السمع للأطفال الصم على الاندماج اجتماعيًا في الأماكن العامة مثل الملاعب والمراكز المجتمعية والمدارس. تسعى هذه التصاميم إلى تعزيز جو أكثر شمولاً، والشعور بالانتماء، وتسهيل التواصل والتفاعل بين الأطفال الصم وأقرانهم من خلال دمج العلامات والرموز المرئية التي تمثل فقدان السمع في الأثاث. تهدف هذه التصاميم إلى خلق بيئة أكثر شمولاً، والشعور بالانتماء، والقدرة على تفاعل الأطفال الصم مع زملائهم في الفصل والتحدث معهم. تم إنشاء خمس منتجات نسيجية لتناسب الأطفال الذين يعانون من ضعف السمع: منشفة، وغطاء، وغطاء سرير، وستارة، ووسادة. كل من هذه المنتجات تتميز بتصميمات تتضمن لغة الإشارة. بناءً على نتائج استبيان تم إجراؤه لعينة عشوائية من الطلاب في مدرسة لضعاف السمع في مصر، تم إنشاء هذه التصميمات. تم استخدام مواد صديقة للأطفال. بشكل عام، تظهر النتائج أن الأقمشة قوية ومتينة ضد الغسيل، مما يجعلها مناسبة للاستخدام المقصود منها. يمكن للأبحاث المستقبلية أن تبحث في المواد أو المعالجات لتحسين ثبات اللون بشكل أكبر عند تعرضها للضوء.
