Psychological Development of Deaf Children

Resource Type

Book

Description

"This book is the first comprehensive examination of the psychological development of deaf children, many of whom are reared in language-impoverished environments and thus experience social and cognitive development that is markedly different from hearing children. The author details those differences, giving special attention to how development is affected by parents, peers, and teachers. This careful consideration of existing evidence yields a new psychological perspective on deaf children and deafness while debunking a number of popular notions about the hearing impaired, helping to forge an integrated understanding of social, linguistic, and cognitive development as they are affected by childhood deafness." -amazon.com
