| Summary: | The aim of this study is to determine levels of students with intellectual disability in associating natural and artificial sounds to their sources. In this study, case study method was used. The study sample consisted of a total of 15 students with intellectual disability selected from two secondary schools, one preschool and one special education school. In the study, a total of 17 pictorial cards illustrating 6 animals, 6 musical instruments and 5 environmental events, and the sounds related to the images on each card were used to collect data. In the process of implementation, each student was first given the pictorial cards and a sound belonging to one of the images on the cards was played. The student was asked to show the image to which the sound belonged and then to say the name of the image. This procedure was performed similarly for all the cards. The study results showed that students with intellectual disability better perceive and discriminate the sounds they encounter in daily life, but they have difficulty in identifying the sounds not encountered in daily life. Besides, it was determined that some students have difficulty in pronouncing the sounds. |
