This second edition explores topics for parents and teachers, ranging from what it means to be deaf, the uniqueness of Deaf culture right through to the medical causes of early hearing loss, technological aids and the many ways that the environment of home and school can influence a deaf child's chances for success in both academic and social circles. There is also expanded coverage of cochlear implants, spoken language and mental health and Marschark makes sense of the most current educational and scientific literature. He also interviews deaf children, their parents, and deaf adults about what is important to them.
