The author, drawing on extensive observations of deaf and hearing children in playgroup settings, examines the developmental stages of deaf children's language acquisition and its impact on their social interactions. The work stands out as a pioneering study, offering a rare glimpse into the communicative abilities of young deaf children, particularly at a time when the understanding of deafness and its psychological ramifications was still evolving. The author analyzes the various tools of communication employed by these children, from spoken words and gestures to facial expressions and vocalizations, demonstrating how the meaning of these expressions often depends heavily on the context of the situation. The book explores the limitations of communication that stem from the absence of conventional language, particularly in the realm of imaginary play, where the ability to take on roles and participate in shared fantasies is often constrained. It also delves into the challenges faced by young deaf children in expressing concepts like time, necessity, and possibility. The author concludes that the social behavior of young deaf children is shaped by their unique communicative environment, providing valuable insights into the social and psychological development of children with hearing impairments.
