Abstract

The present study presents a taxonomy developed during a research project in relation to didactic materials designed specifically for the hearing impaired. It also incorporates other resources that may foster the educational inclusion of this group in ordinary classrooms and society as a whole. The taxonomy makes it possible to classify a diversity of materials, thus providing the deaf community and teachers in general with a classification system that facilitates the search for materials and resources.
The paper first establishes the theoretical foundations of the concept of hearing impairment and didactic material and describes its characteristics, classification and evolution over time. After investigating
diverse repositories and resource banks, the taxonomy resulting from the classification of different materials is presented. We conclude with a reflection on the mentioned materials and how this research was carried out.
