The Role of Executive Functions and Sign Language Proficiency in Mediating Quality of Life and Cognitive Development in Deaf and Hard-of-Hearing Adolescents

الملخص
The current study presents the mediation model, which includes the mediation of basic executive functions, executive functions of language, sign language proficiency, educational cognitive development, and quality of life where data is collected from deaf and hard of hearing people aged (10 and 16) years. The study will be carried out in two different places: Al-Amal School for the Deaf and integration classes with the use of sign language with the deaf and total communication with the hearing impaired, this questionnaire evaluated three main areas: general abilities of sign language, the ability to use sign language in various activities, and the general opinion of the individual about sign language. It consists of five sections: Demography, Language Environment, Opinion on Sign Language, Self-Assessed Sign Language Performance, and Sign Language Exposure. The results predict that sign language proficiency significantly mediated the relationship between core executive functions and partly mediated in the relationship between the executive functions of language and educational cognitive development. Understanding the world of deaf and hard of hearing children is a major challenge for parents, teachers and professionals.
