Deaf Children in China

Alison Calloway

To learn how Chinese parents raise their deaf children, Alison Callaway in 1994 conducted extensive research in the city of Nanjing. There, she interviewed the parents of 26 deaf children while also carefully analyzing a large collection of letters written by other parents to the supervisor of the nursery school that was the centre of her research. She also made fact-finding visits to several other schools and programmes for deaf pre-schoolers, and had discussions with teachers, administrators, and staff members. The results of her study form the remarkable body of information presented in this book. Hardcover 256 pages 2000
