Abstract	In Germany extra-curricular student labs increase student interest in a subject area by providing independent and hands-on experiments and are an important innovation in education. The student lab at the University Erlangen-Nuremberg is called NESSI-Lab and focuses on chemistry. NESSI-Lab offers school classes from first to sixth grade a one day experience in chemistry, with age-appropriate experiments about fire, water, air, and earth. The feedback received from participating students and teachers was very good and resulted in an extension to another target group: children with hearing loss and learning disabilities. The frequently modified cognitive, linguistic, motor, and social development of hearing-impaired children and children with learning disabilities requires existing experiments to be adjusted, as well as their instructions and NESSI-Lab schedule. A pilot study was conducted to adopt changes to the Lab to accommodate the restraints mentioned above. The understanding and learning gains have been examined by interviews with 25 hearing-impaired children aged between 8 and 10 years. The results of a survey of special education teachers about experiments in special education schools, the adapted NESSI-Lab concept, and first results of an interview study about understanding and learning gains of children with hearing loss shall be presented.
