Deaf children are not hearing children who can't hear, and having a
deaf child is not analogous to having a hearing child who can't
hear. Beyond any specific effects of hearing loss, deaf children
are far more diverse than their hearing age-mates. A lack of access
to language, limited incidental learning and social interactions,
as well as the possibility of secondary disabilities, mean that
deaf children face a variety of challenges in language, social, and
academic domains. In recent years, technological innovations such
as digital hearing aids and cochlear implants have improved hearing
and the possibility of spoken language for many deaf learners, but
parents, teachers, and other professionals are just now coming to
recognize the cognitive, experiential, and social-emotional
differences between deaf and hearing children. Sign languages and
schools and programs for deaf learners thus remain an important
part of the continuum of services needed for this population.
Understanding the unique strengths and needs of deaf children is
the key. Now in its third edition, Marc Marschark's Raising and
Educating a Deaf Child, which has helped a countless number of
families, offers a comprehensively clear, evidence-based guide to
the choices, controversies, and decisions faced by parents and
teachers of deaf children today.
