The study adopted qualitative methodology, especially interpretive approach. The research methods used to collect data were semi-structured interviews. As there is only one primary school that contains DHH children, the researcher invited all teachers, they agreed to participate in the current study. Six teachers participated, they were interviewed in private places to ensure privacy and confidentiality. The study handled with ethical issues seriously. The study used qualitative analysis.
