Deaf people have difficulties with psychological care

Deaf people have difficulties with psychological care

Dr. Sofio

 

 

Gabriela Roma Santos, 31, was still a baby when pediatricians accused her of being lazy. the reason? She was slow to speak, so the professionals blamed the girl's supposed lack of motivation. In fact, she had a hearing loss that was only identified years later by the Bera test, used to measure hearing ability.

Inattention by doctors affected Gabriela's development. She also had problems identifying herself as deaf. Orally, she used a hearing aid, but hid it with her hair.
