Abstract

Deaf students hardly ever finish higher studies. One of the biggest difficulties they have to face in studying for their degrees is reading comprehension. This paper presents a study about their needs when reading a text, and proposes several measures to alleviate this problem. The methodology proposed in this paper, when applied to adapt an e-learning Computing course, has achieved a promising improvement of the understanding level of this kind of student.
