Psychological Development Of Deaf Children (Paperback)

Marc Marschark

This was the first comprehensive examination of the psychological development of deaf children. Because the majority of young deaf children (especially those with non-signing parents) are reared in language impoverished environments, their social and cognitive developments may differ markedly from hearing children. This book details those potential differences and provides a perspective of deaf children and deafness. Empirical evaluations of deaf children's intellectual and academic abilities are stressed throughout. Paperback 275 pages 2000
