Balanced Literacy Approach (BLA) combines certain features of the approaches based on skills and comprehension. It is an approach whose efficacy on development of literacy skills in people with normal hearing and hearing-impaired people has been determined by research studies.

It was conducted with hearing-impaired university students from Anadolu University, School for Handicapped.
