5. Conclusions
The protocol described and administered in this study proved to be an useful instrument for gathering relevant
information about hearing and deaf (severely and profoundly deaf) pre-school children’s communicative abilities.
Comparing the results obtained from hearing and deaf children’s communicative ability, it was found that deaf children
were delayed in communication ability, independently of their linguistic level of communication and their preferred
modality of communication.
The Protocol’s innovative features, including assessments by 3 different adults: parent, SLT, and Libras interpreter, and its
‘‘modality-free’’ nature enable its use with the full range of deaf children, including those who have developed neither SpL
nor SL.
