This research used quantitative approach with experimental method and one group pretest-posttest design. It was conducted to seven first grade elementary school students with hearing impairments with three treatments. Data were collected through written tests. The data were then analyzed with quantitative analysis techniques using nonparametric statistics, i.e. Wilcoxon test. The results of this research show that mind mapping method had an effect on increased understanding of question words of the first-grade elementary school students with hearing impairments in the special school for hearing-impaired students.
