In this American volume, scholars in a variety of disciplines elucidate the effects of family, peers and schools on deaf children. Complementary observations from researchers in anthropology, psychology, linguistics, basic visual sensory processes, education, cognition and neurophysiology are shared in conjunction with findings in explorations of vocabulary learning, emotional development, development of the mind, and perspectives on the coming of age of deaf children in relation to their social environment.
