Abstract


This study investigates the impact of phonetic rhythmic activities in fostering speech development, improving pronunciation, and enhancing socialization in deaf and hard-of-hearing children. The primary aim of this research is to analyze the effectiveness of phonetic rhythmics through sensory integration, music, and physical movement. Using a mixed-method approach, the study involves literature analysis, experimentation, data comparison, and interviews with educators and children. Results show that phonetic rhythmic exercises significantly improve pronunciation, auditory perception, and social interaction. However, the method's application in educational practice remains limited due to the lack of systematic integration. The research emphasizes the need for a structured pedagogical approach and the broader adoption of phonetic rhythmics as an essential tool for speech development in special education. The findings contribute to advancing national surdopedagogy and offer a framework for enhancing the social and academic lives of children with hearing impairments.
