Debates about methods of supporting language development and
academic skills of deaf or hard-of-hearing children have waxed and
waned for more than 100 years: Will using sign language interfere
with learning to use spoken language or does it offer optimal
access to communication for deaf children? Does placement in
classrooms with mostly hearing children enhance or impede academic
and social-emotional development? Will cochlear implants or other
assistive listening devices provide deaf children with sufficient
input for age-appropriate reading abilities? Are traditional
methods of classroom teaching effective for deaf and
hard-of-hearing students?
Although there is a wealth of evidence with regard to each of these
issues, too often, decisions on how to best support deaf and
hard-of-hearing children in developing language and academic skills
are made based on incorrect or incomplete information. No matter
how well-intentioned, decisions grounded in opinions, beliefs, or
value judgments are insufficient to guide practice. Instead, we
need to take advantage of relevant, emerging research concerning
best practices and outcomes in educating deaf and hard-of-hearing
learners.
In this critical evaluation of what we know and what we do not know
about educating deaf and hard-of-hearing students, the authors
examine a wide range of educational settings and research methods
that have guided deaf education in recent years--or should. The
book provides a focus for future educational and research efforts,
and aims to promote optimal support for deaf and hard-of-hearing
learners of all ages. Co-authored by two of the most respected
leaders in the field, this book summarizes and evaluates research
findings across multiple disciplines pertaining to the raising and
educating of deaf children, providing a comprehensive but concise
record of the successes, failures, and unanswered questions in deaf
education. A readily accessible and invaluable source for teachers,
university students, and other professionals, Evidence-Based
Practice in Educating Deaf andHard-of-Hearing Students encourages
readers to reconsider assumptions and delve more deeply into what
we really know about deaf and hard-of-hearing children, their
patterns of development, and their lifelong learning.
