The information on ethics in education in general is quite limited.
Indeed most practising teachers (general and special education)
know little detail of existing codes of ethics for their
profession, or whether one even exists. In the past, options for
parents and professionals were fewer or non-existent in most
aspects. Not that long ago, the choice of an educational program
for many children was a "fait accompli" given that there was only
one school for the deaf. Now, educational options exist for perhaps
the majority of children with hearing losses--options that span the
service range of residential schools to full integration. Further,
within these educational settings, the language and method of
instruction is also variable, spanning the range from
auditory/verbal to bilingual-bicultural. Technological changes have
also increased a range of tests for identifying the presence and
degree of hearing loss at a very early age.
Ethics in Deaf Education introduces and clarifies, in a structured
manner, the many possible ethical considerations concerning the
provision of educational services and habilitation for young
children with hearing losses. The decisions that parents or
guardians make on behalf of their children, often based on the
contributions of educators, habilitation/rehabilitation
specialists, and the Deaf and medical communities, deserve an
airing in a comprehensive manner. What are the issues concerning
amplification, implantation, visual communication systems, and sign
languages? What technological route should the parents take? What
language should they be trying to develop in their child? What
educational setting and approach will best satisfy the needs of
their childand themselves for the present and foreseeable
future?
No other book has combined the factors of ethics, education, and
deafness, to discuss a variety of topics that concern parents and
professionals who have and work with young children with hearing
losses. Concise, readable chapters have been written by a
cross-section of experienced academics, researchers, and educators;
each begins with an "ethical dilemma" and expands to consider new
technologies and educational options. Each chapter ends with a list
of suggested readings and ethical questions for consideration.
