Pragmatic impairment is the main cause of communication difficulties in hearing-impaired children and it is obvious that there should be a way to assess their difficulties in order to find out suitable teaching strategies to teach them pragmatic skills as well. It seems pre-school children need to get familiar with these skills to communicate in a reasonable manner. But, most of the pragmatic assessment tests are in forms of checklists that should be filled by their parents or clients and of course, they are not a reliable way to do such an important issue. So, the authors of the present article aimed to work on a pragmatic assessment questionnaire to observe children in a real context and examine their pragmatic abilities to find out their difficulties.
