What is the impact of an infant's diminished hearing on the infant
and its parents? How does communication develop in cases of
diminished hearing? How does diminished hearing affect social and
cognitive development? What types of early interventions can
improve communication and development in infants with diminished
hearing? The World of Deaf Infants presents the results of a
15-year research study that addresses these questions. Through
their research, perhaps the largest, long-term comparison of deaf
and hearing infants, Meadow-Orlans's team provides a comprehensive
and intimate look into the world of deaf infants. For a core group
of 80 families that includs all four combinations of parent-infant
hearing status, data was collected longitudinally at 9, 12, 15, and
18 months, and mother-infant interactions were recorded and
observed in both structured and unstructured settings. Mothers'
facial, vocal, and tactile behaviors during interactions were
related to infants' temperament and stress; mothers' linguistic and
communication behaviors, as well as their overall responsiveness,
were related to children's language; and the effects of support
provided to mothers were evaluated and explored. The results were
dramatic, particularly those on infant attachment behaviors and the
importance of visual attention to the overall development of deaf
infants. This comprehensive work provides a foundation on which
researchers, teachers, students, and parents can build to improve
communication, cognitive and social development, and to enhance the
world of deaf infants.
