Background: In fact, children with special hearing needs consider a special phenomenon compared to other categories; as a hearing impaired child looks normal except for in his weak or losing of hearing which doesn’t attract the others’ attention such as-other disabilities like blindness Disabled children require more intensive care either in health, social, psychological, educational, or cultural field, that should be early to help restricting problems may result. Here emerges the notion of applying a program counts on verbotonal method on a sample of hearing- impaired children, for the purpose of increasing their vocabulary and linguistic communication post exposure to the program for one whole year. Objectives: Identifying the effectiveness of the Verbtonal program in developing the ability of linguistic communication in children with hearing impairment, and Identify the impact of the Verbtonal program on development of vocabulary size in children with hearing impairment aged (3- 5) year olds. Problem: What is the impact of using a verbotonal program in development of the ability to communicate linguistically and vocabulary size in children with hearing impairment? Tools: Primary Data Form children with mild hearing loss (by researcher), The Family Socio- economic Scale, Man- A- Draw Test, of Goodenough Harris, Verbtonal Program for Professor BeterGuberina, Scale of Linguistic Vocabulary of (3- 5) year olds (by researcher), and Scale of Linguistic Communication of (3- 5) year olds (by researcher). Results: Results of the ability of linguistic communication level reveal differences between children with mild hearing loss of the experimental and the control group, in favor of the experimental group post- application of the Verbtonal program, and results reveal differences exist between children with mild hearing loss of the experimental and the control group, in favor of the experimental group post- application of the Verbtonal program.
