Abstract The present study explores the development of emotional competence through targeted interventions among hearing and speech impaired adolescents. Emotional competence including self-awareness, empathy, adaptability, motivation, and social skills is a vital component of psychological growth, especially for adolescents with communication disabilities who often face emotional and social challenges. This quasi-experimental research aimed to evaluate the effectiveness of a specially designed intervention package developed to enhance emotional intelligence among hearing and speech impaired students enrolled in a special school in Himachal Pradesh. The intervention incorporated activities such as reflective exercises, stress management techniques, and structured peer interactions, all adapted to meet the unique needs of the participants. A sample of 30 adolescents was selected for the study, employing a pre-test and post-test control group design. Findings revealed a statistically significant improvement in the emotional competence of students who received the intervention compared to those in the control group. The results highlight the effectiveness of targeted strategies in fostering emotional well-being and social adaptability among hearing and speech impaired adolescents. The study provides valuable implications for educators, special educators, and policymakers committed to advancing inclusive and emotionally supportive learning environments.
