This dissertation is primarily concerned with to what extent the dance therapy program fir gearing impairments, carried out 6 times in 6weeks, fulfills its function in curing interpersonal; problems and in improving social support scale. The therapy program is composed of four phases: relaxation and centering phase, mirroring phase, expressive movement phase and arrangement phase.
The subjects chosen in this program were 24 hearing impairments - 12 in an experimental group and 12 in a controlled group. To avoid the possible influence of age, schooling and sex differences, 6 male and 6 female students in each group, from 12 to 16 years of age, were selected Tests of social supporting scale were carried out a week before and after th program in order to measure the variation of the social supporting scale in each group. The test was respect derived from himself/herself, his/her parents, teachers and friends. The results are as follows :
1. the dance therapy program plays much more important role in developing self-respect of hearing impairments than any other playing program.
2. The dance therapy program plays much more important role in developing teacher's evaluation for hearing impairments than any other program.
