Main Article Content
Abstract
This study explores and compares the Natural Audio-Verbal, Total, and Bilingual methods in mute education, highlighting their strengths and limitations. Additionally, modern technologies such as AI-powered speech-to-text, AAC devices, and sign language recognition tools are examined for their role in enhancing communication. By integrating traditional approaches with technological advancements, a more inclusive and adaptive learning environment can be created, ensuring effective communication for individuals with speech and hearing impairments.
