The purpose of this research is to examine the characteristics of children with hearing impairment, the perceived needs of the family and family support services and programmes (FSSP). The sample of this study consisted of one hundred and twenty (120) parents of children with hearing impairment in Southeast and South-south Geopolitical Zone of Nigeria. This study adopted purposive sampling technique because of the specific and limited number of respondents under consideration. Four research aims and questions were formulated. The first instrument for data collection was a 30 item self-designed questionnaire titled: Family Support Services and Programmes (FSSP). The second instrument was a 5 item self-designed scale titled: Programmes and Services Inventory (PSI). This instrument was used to ascertain the inventory of the available and accessible programmes and services for parents of children with hearing impairment in Nigeria. The results are presented in a descriptive form using tables of frequencies and percentages, bar charts, Pearson Product Moment Correlation (PPMC) and Multiple Regression Analysis. Results revealed that there is a gross unavailability of the programmes and services for parents of children with hearing impairment in Nigeria; the contribution and relationship between the independent variable (parent adjustment) and dependent variables (Family support services and programmes - information services, parents skills, parent education, support group services, counseling services) were significant. This study is divided into two parts: the theoretical part which dealt with literature review and the practical part focused on methodology and results analysis. Finally, recommendations, contribution to knowledge and suggestions for future research were stated.

APPENDIX
Dear parents/caregivers,
You are invited to participate in a research study entitled "Family Supports services and programmes". I am a foreign student, studying at the Faculty of Education (Palacky University Olomouc).
This research is to explore the current situation of family supports and family adjustment caring for a child with hearing impairment. Your participation in this survey is strictly voluntary and your responses will be kept confidential. It should only take about 10 minutes of time; all responses will be compiled together and used only for statistical analysis as group. There is no standard answer to all the questions, please give your answer according to your own opinion and fact. The results will serve as a reference for professionals providing family support services.
Your participation is very important; we hope this form will be helpful to you in identifying the services that you feel are important.
Thank you for your cooperation.
Yours faithfully,
Ngozi Nwaukwa
