Language Through Living for Hearing-impaired Children Book

This book explores current practice in the field of the education of hearing-impaired children by combining theory with suggestions for good practice. It tackles the subject from a new angle - that of an auditory oral approach heavily dependent upon the quality of interaction which hearing-impaired children enjoy in their environment. It is aimed at both parents and professionals and concentrates on the early years, from diagnosis to age seven. The book aims to help parents and professionals working with young hearing-impaired children to gain a fuller understanding of what can be achieved by these children. Many practical points are covered in relation to the use of residual hearing and great emphasis is laid on the importance of this area of the work.
