Objectives. The aim of the study was to highlight the specific features in the “gentleman and dog” drawings of children with hearing impairment who experience problems with verbalization. Sample and setting. The primary sample was 53 preschool children with hearing impairment. The design of the research was mixed. The drawings were qualitatively analysed with an enumeration of character frequency. The hypotheses were verified by a two-factor analysis and a two-sample T-test. Hypotheses. H1 There is no relation between the level of intelligence and the drawing. H2 There is no relation between the drawing and the sex of the child. H3 There is no relation between the drawing and the age of the child. H3 There is no relation between the drawing and the hearing impairment of the parents. Statistical analysis. There was a correlation between the results in the IQ test and the raw scores of the gentleman drawing at the level of 0.05 and the IQ test results and the raw scores of the dog drawing at level 0.01. The relationship between the sex, age, and level of the gentleman drawing has not been established. In the case of dog drawing, a statistically significant effect on the significance level of 0.05 only for sex (F (1, 48) = 6.15, p = 0.02) was demonstrated. In the event of the influence of the hearing impairment of parents on the child drawing, a statistically significant relationship was not supported. Results. Drawings of “gentleman and dog” of children with hearing impairment show signs of a lower developmental level by one to two years compared to hearing peers. Limits of the study. From the point of view of statistical processing requirements, the number of respondents may be considered to be limiting, but this is 80% of the selected population.
