Guidelines of Assistive Courseware (AC) for Hearing-Impaired Students

The increasing number of Person With Disabilities (PWD) in Malaysia is very worrying especially to Ministry of Education because this population, eg: hearing impaired people remain disproportionately uneducated, untrained, unemployed, and poor. Accordingly many researchers work together with Informa...
