Keys to Raising a Deaf Child

Resource Type

Book - Parent

Description

Product Description "Two educators -- one of them a parent of two deaf children -- offer positive advice and encouragement on helping children adapt to deafness. Recommended in these pages is the bimodal communication approach, which entails having the child, parents, and other non-deaf family members combine sign language and speech as the first step to normal communication. The book also offers much good general advice on parenting. The authors stress that deaf and hearing children are more alike than they are different."
