This study aimed to investigate the meaning of a sound environment for children with special needs through conducting action research on room acoustics in a child development support center. First, the actual conditions were investigated through acoustic measurement, behavioral observation, and interviews with teachers. Results revealed that daily sounds comprised of loud voices, crying, and screaming voices. The teachers were aware of the problems with the sound environment. Second, an experiment to improve the sound absorption performance in the classroom was conducted. The effects of the alleviation of noisiness and enhancement of calmness were confirmed in the sound environment. This change had supported a child with hyperacusis for decreasing to blocking his ears or speaking actively. In addition, the interviews found that experiencing an environment with different reverberations presented an opportunity for teachers to become aware of their own voices. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR] |
