Resource Type

Book - Parent

Description

"The Silent Garden: Raising Your Deaf Child presents parents of deaf children with crucial information on the greater possibilities afforded deaf children today. The Silent Garden helps parents to overcome their initial, natural sense of shock of learning that their child is deaf. It explains the broad range of hearing loss types, from minor to profound. Parents also are helped in their considerations as to what type of school their child should attend and what kinds of professional help will be best for the entire family. The Silent Garden describes all forms of communication, including choices in signing from American Sign Language to the various manual systems based upon English. Technological alternatives are presented also, including when and when not to consider cochler implants. The Silent Garden brings understanding about deafness to parents and to all the other family members, relations and friends." -Midwest Book Review
