Al-Gazali, L. I. (1998). A Genetic Aetiological Survey of Severe Childhood Deafness in the United Arab Emirates. The aim of this study was to provide a genetic aetiological survey of children attending classes for the deaf in the United Arab Emirates (UAE) in whom a known acquired cause for their deafness had been excluded. Four schools in four different Emirates participated in the study (Sharjha, Khor Fakan, Dubai and Al-Ain). In each child a detailed history was obtained. This included a detailed family history, the level of consanguinity between the parents, ethnic origin, and the age of onset and progression of the deafness.

Al-Hilawani Y.A. (2003, April). Clinical Examination of Three Methods of Teaching Reading Comprehension to Deaf and Hard-of-Hearing Students: From Research to Classroom Applications. Journal of Deaf Studies and Deaf Education, Volume 8, Number 2, April 2003 , pp. 146-156(11), Publisher: Oxford University Press. This study shows how to integrate research-based teaching methods in reading comprehension with real classroom teaching activities. The performance of 30 male (n = 13; mean age = 11.51 years) and female (n = 17; mean age = 12.11 years) deaf and hard-of-hearing students from the United Arab Emirates (UAE) was examined under three teaching conditions: the key word strategy, modified reciprocal teaching, and the basic reading approach. Analyses showed that the key word strategy and modified reciprocal teaching significantly enhanced students' overall performance in reading comprehension scores. Results revealed that any one of these three methods would be adequate for teaching factual information. However, results indicated that the key word strategy and modified reciprocal teaching would be better for teaching factual information, comprehension, and memorization skills than the basic reading approach.
