Hearing or visual impairments may negatively affect child's development and participation. Yet the literature about participation of children with hearing or visual impairments is insufficient. The present study aimed to compare participation patterns of children with visual impairments to those of children with hearing impairments and to typical peers and to examine the correlations between participation and socio-demographic parameters in each group. Participants were 70 children between the ages of 6-11: 25 with hearing impairments, 20 with visual impairments and 25 typical peers. All children filled the Children's Assessment of Participation and Enjoyment (CAPE). This self-report refers to participation in daily out of school activities. Children with hearing or visual impairments showed significant limited participation compared to typical peers, expressed in lower number of activities, lower participation intensity; more activities performed at home and with someone else. The limited participation was more emphasized among children with visual impairments. Socio-demographic variables (age, mother's education and socio-economic level) correlated with participation dimensions in both study groups. In conclusion, children with hearing or visual impairments may have restricted participation in out of school activities. Socio-demographic parameters may play a role in encouraging child's participation. Participation among these populations should be further studied in order to assist service providers to create intervention programs together with the child, for enhancing his/her inclusion in the community.

:听力或视力障碍可能会对孩子的发育和参与产生负面影响。然而,有关听力或视力障碍儿童参与的文献不足。本研究旨在比较视力障碍儿童,听力障碍儿童和典型同龄人的参与模式,并检验每组中参与度和社会人口统计学参数之间的相关性。参加者为70名6至11岁的儿童:25名听力障碍儿童,20名视力障碍儿童和25名典型同伴。所有儿童都填写了儿童参与和娱乐评估(CAPE)。此自我报告是指参加每天的校外活动。与典型的同龄人相比,有听力或视觉障碍的儿童表现出明显的受限参与,表现为较少的活动,较低的参与强度;在家里以及与其他人一起进行的更多活动。视力障碍儿童更加强调了有限的参与。社会人口统计学变量(年龄,母亲的受教育程度和社会经济水平)与两个研究组的参与程度相关。总之,听力或视力障碍的儿童可能会限制参加校外活动。社会人口统计学参数可能在鼓励儿童参与方面发挥作用。应进一步研究这些人群的参与情况,以帮助服务提供者与儿童一起制定干预计划,以增强他/她在社区中的包容性。
