A propos du livre

Présentation de l'éditeur

First published in 1981, this pioneering book quickly established itself as the standard work for parents of hearing impaired children and for those who care for them. It offers invaluable practical advice and emotional support, from the earliest recognition and diagnosis of deafness, through the crucial years of language development, the transition from home to school and the years of formal education. In recent years there have been enormous developments in the treatment and help available to hearing impaired children, and this has been reflected in this second edition. While retaining the basic structure and the emphasis on early diagnosis and intervention, close co-operation between parents and professionals and a sympathetic approach, the authors have considerably expanded the chapters on causes and assessment, and have almost entirely rewritten the important chapter on hearing aids, which are such a vital part of the child's language development. Technological advances in this area have been rapid, and the new, considerably longer chapter, reflects the most recent achievements in the manufacture of the hearing aid. The appendices of useful addresses, book and suppliers have been expanded and brought up to date, and three new ones added on the technical aspects of hearing. There are also many new photographs to complement the text, and many of the diagrams have been redrawn. Written with the same warm and practical bias that made the first edition such an instant success, this new editions will undoubtedly be welcomed by all parents and professionals concerned in hearing impaired children to live full and useful lives.
