    In the course of this work, some difficulties were encountered, among which are: - the difficulties in getting some deaf students of the school for the handicapped to fully participate and respond to the Questions being asked them.
Recommendations
    Recommendations are based on the findings: firstly, it was discovered that disabled children who are deaf could be helped or rehabilitated through special education. (Adama, 1991).  
    Secondly, it was discovered that early detection of signs of deafness could make a lot of difference in the child’s life. And according to Yahaya, (2000), when this is done, quick control measures could be undertaken.
    Furthermore, it was observed that some religious beliefs do more harm than help get the parents confused.
    According to Umoh, (1995) parents needs general counselling education, especially preventive education on children’s likely disability and diseases.
    Based on these findings, the following recommendations are made: -

    Government should train more special education specialists in the country. Moreover more special schools or institutions should be establish by the government. In addition to these, government should provide enough fund and education facilities in these schools.
Limitations of the Study
    The attitudes of deaf to this type of research constituted a major impediment to the study. These are areas of sampling and returns of the questionnaire. These were however, overcome after great efforts. 
Suggestions for further Studies
    As a result of findings in this work that is that prompt an adequate counselling therapy should be sought for children discovered to have developed signs of hearing problems, one also wishes to suggest that more studies should be made  or done on the topic by other researchers as the issues involved are fundamental to the growth and development of education in the society at large and the development of this nation itself.
