Resource Type

Book

Description

"This book, a companion to Marschark's Raising and Educating a Deaf Child, presents a summary of the current state-of-the-art in deaf education. With dramatic changes in deaf education over the past 30 years, this book considers what we now know, what we do not know, and what we should know about the education of deaf students. Taking a developmental perspective, the authors look first at the history of deaf education, and then at education as it begins at home and in the classroom, encompassing discussion about reading, American Sign Language, and school choice. The various programs available for deaf children and young adults are appraised, including details of the curriculum in English, math and science, and social studies... " <P> -The Publisher
