The dependent variables were acquisition and maintenance effect of dynamic balance and static balance and two subjects’ performances of pretest and posttest balance ability. The data were analyzed through visual analysis, C statistic, effect size and supplemented with social validity analysis. The results of this study were summarized as followings: (1) Kids gymnastics had positive acquisition effect on the improvement of the hearing-impaired children’s static balance. (2) Kids gymnastics did not have maintenance effect on the improvement of the hearing-impaired children’s static balance. (3) Kids gymnastics had positive acquisition effect on the improvement of the hearing-impaired children’s dynamic balance. (4) Kids gymnastics did not have maintenance effect on the improvement of the hearing-impaired children’s dynamic balance. (5) Kids gymnastics had positive acquisition effect on the improvement of the hearing-impaired children’s balance ability.
