The religious and moral instruction of the deaf is influenced by the people who work with them on daily basis. It is important then that they find methods for communicating the basic Christian values. Priests as well as the families can play a vital role in teaching the Gospel and its values. First of all, it is connected with the fact that the deaf-mute people follow in their life what they see in the world of the people who surround them. Example of the closest persons is an extremely important factor forming the morals of the deaf. Therefore, it is important that these persons feel responsible for forming those who need their help. Rehabilitation of the deaf is a branch of knowledge which is being developed with the progress of humanistic, medical, and technical sciences. It is open for a wide interdisciplinary cooperation, which serves to improve and make people with impaired hearing more independent.
