Books in the Professional Perspectives On Deafness: Evidence and Applications series

Hearing loss, with its resulting communication challenges, can impede the development of social skills and restrict social relationships of deaf and hard-of-hearing (DHH) children. Social Competence of Deaf and Hard-of-Hearing Children is addressed to parents, educators, and researchers interested in the development, assessment, and promotion of social competence in DHH children.

Using a developmental approach, this book combines a review of up-to-date data with theory and first-hand observations to provide guidelines for development of deaf and hard-of-hearing children (birth to age 3) and ways professionals and parents can best support their learning and language development.

Languages and Languaging in Deaf Education offers bold a contribution towards a new pedagogical framework in deaf education and studies.

Early Intervention for Deaf and Hard-of-Hearing Infants, Toddlers, and Their Families provides the evidence-based knowledge and skills needed by professionals to implement interdisciplinary and collaborative early intervention programming for infants and toddlers who are deaf or hard-of-hearing and their families.
