Description:

Using a developmental approach, this book combines a review of up-to-date data with theory and first-hand observations to provide guidelines for development of deaf and hard-of-hearing children (birth to age 3) and ways professionals and parents can best support their learning and language development.

Synopsis:

Regardless of a child's hearing abilities, increasing parents' knowledge about their baby or toddler's expected development and their confidence in their parenting abilities supports positive early interactions and developmental progress. Fortunately, as early hearing screening has become widespread, more information is available about development of deaf and hard-of-hearing infants and ways to best support their developing learning and language abilities. This book combines a review of up-to-date research with theory and first-hand observations to provide a framework for parents and professionals as they promote developmental achievements of infants and toddlers with limited hearing. In what ways is development of deaf and hard-of-hearing babies and toddlers like that of those with typical hearing? What specific challenges are likely to be faced by child and parent - and when are they most likely to occur? What modifications in parenting and caregiver interactive behaviors can help avoid or overcome these challenges? A strong, supportive foundation for optimal learning throughout life grows from early, positive, and responsive interactive experiences.This book provides information and guidelines for professionals and parents helping deaf and hard-of-hearing infants and toddlers build that foundation.
