Understanding Childhood Deafness: A Word in Your Ear - Tapa blanda

De la contraportada

As many as one in four children suffer from the effects of childhood deafness, whether because of temporary troubles or because of deafness which may be lifelong.

Understanding Childhood Deafness is a book about babies and young children and about what it is like not to be able to hear when no one else realises or understands. It explains how to spot hearing problems and hoe, with the right help and attention, a child has the opportunity to develop his or her own potential. Issues such as the use of sign language or the need for speech correction techniques with severely deaf children are also discussed, while parents are urged to make informed choices.

Wilhma Rae Quin has had many years of working with children and their parents both clinically and educationally, and this book contains many real life examples.
