This book comprehensively addresses current topics in special education such as hearing loss, speech and language therapy, visual impairment, and twice-exceptional (2E) individuals. It emphasizes the support of communication skills in children with hearing loss through auditory-verbal approaches, highlighting early diagnosis and the importance of assistive technologies. Language development, the role of family education, and interaction-based language support techniques are illustrated with practical examples. Rapid speech disorder is explored in detail within speech therapy, including clinical features, assessment protocols, and intervention methods based on scientific literature. Visual impairments and accessibility challenges are discussed, supplemented with examples of technology-driven accessibility applications. The education of hearing-impaired gifted individuals (2E), their identification, potential realization, educational difficulties, and the impact of socio-demographic factors are thoroughly examined. Using intersectionality theory, the book explores how multiple identities affect educational experiences and underscores the importance of inclusive education strategies. This interdisciplinary scope establishes the book as a valuable resource for innovative practices and research in the field of special education.
