A child who has unusual difficulty in understanding oral instruction may have the following impairment :

  • A.Cerebral Palsy
  • B.Visual impairment
  • C.Intellectual disability
  • D.Hearing impairment

Answer: D

The child may have a hearing impairment.

Oral instructions reach a child through hearing. A child with a hearing impairment may hear the teacher only partly or not at all, may miss words or sounds, and may therefore have unusual difficulty in understanding spoken instructions, while he copes better with written or demonstrated ones.

Visual impairment affects reading and seeing, not hearing spoken words. Cerebral palsy chiefly affects movement and posture. Intellectual disability affects understanding generally, written as well as spoken, rather than oral instructions in particular. A specific difficulty with oral instructions points first to hearing.
