31. conclusions
The present situation of internal migrations to search a more effective school environment seems to be changing
Cochlear implants are now a reality for Greece. Record has demonstrated the high frequency of using these, by the early age
The attitudes of the teachers at their students with hearing loss  seems to be changing
The attitudes of the parents of deaf pupils seems to be changing too

32. conclusions
The new support context especially the parallel assistance has created the appropriate conditions for deaf students to be included in the formal education.
There is deficiency in the mainstream direction about the inclusion educational methods for deaf/hard of hearing students.
The above points (not necessarily negative) create confusion to the education world which is looking for its “steps”, about the new inclusion educational methods for deaf/hard of hearing students.
