Abstract:

The research was to ascertain the influence of assistive technology and teacher training on the academic success of the hearing-impaired students of Junior High School year 2024-2025 in Region XI. The application of mean and descriptive levels is employed in this study. The overall ratings on assistive technology and academic success of hearing-impaired students were rated and viewed as High. It means the assistive technology contributes heavily to informing academic success of all learners. The global outcomes for the teacher’s training and academic success of hearing-impaired students rated and interpreted as High. It means that teacher’s training has a significant effect on the academic success of hearing-impaired students. Overall performance for academic success of hearing-impaired students labelled and scored as High. The implication is that the significance of academic success with hearing-impaired students goes past grades; it affects their forthcoming prospects, assimilation into society, self-respect, social communication, and general development and, in essence, molds their lives in a positive way. Correlation of assistive technology reveals the positive association with academic success. It is an indication that the interaction between the assistive technology and teacher’s training is central in forming academic success.
