Hearing Impaired Infants: Support for the First 18 Months

Jacqueline Stokes (Ed)

This title has two main aims. First to convey in a clear and readable way what professionals do, the language they use, what influences their decision making and some of the ramifications of hearing impairment and, secondly, to convey to professionals what it is like to discover that your child is deaf or has a hearing loss and what family life with that child is like. By encouraging and facilitating a greater understanding of the roles of professionals and parents in the care of hearing-impaired children, it is hoped that this book will enable them, as a whole, to work in an effective and supportive way which will, ultimately, benefit the children in their care.
