Currently unavailable
Description
This work shows that, with advances in technology and an emphasis on infant screening, deaf and hard of hearing children are being identified at an early age - expanding the need for knowledge about early intervention and education for these young children and their families. It aims to help early interventionists, education professionals, speech-language pathologists, and students navigate complex issues. Readers will: learn to consider the family, community, and cultural and linguistic contexts of young deaf children; explore key language and communication issues, including parent-child interactions, early literacy development, and the impact of technology; look at specific educational factors, such as inclusive practices and the challenges of identifying and educating deaf children with multiple disabilities; examine major family-centred issues, such as family rights, support, and advocacy; learn about available services for screening, assessment, intervention, educational programming, and programme evaluation; and gain insight from research models that focus on early intervention, team approaches to early education, and early signs of literacy.
