Application:
The social (and legal) requirements to end
discrimination faced by many disabled people in the UK has
ensured much greater emphasis on integration of disabled children
in standard schools and classes.
Thorn Grove Primary School includes 10 hard of hearing students
who are fully integrated with all classes with the assistance
of Sound Field Voice Reinforcement systems in all its classrooms.
The sound field systems utilise i-ceilings sound panels in
the suspended ceilings to provide even dispersion of sound
to all students as well as high levels of voice clarity. The
i-ceilings panels are linked to infrared Chiayo wireless microphones
which allow multiple systems to be used in adjacent classrooms
without the additional costs and difficulties of multi-channel
radio mic products.
Teachers
have reported significant improvements in the response from
hard of hearing students. Furthermore, students with no hearing
difficulties have also shown clear advancement in concentration
levels and understanding of instructions during class. |
