Enhancing communication skills of deaf & hard of hearing children in the mainstream

Description:

With many children who are deaf or hard of hearing now integrated in mainstream classroom settings, speech-language pathologists and school-based clinicians are encountering this population in growing numbers. This book is designed to help clinicians who may have little or no experience with this population to understand its unique communication needs and develop clinical skills for working with them. It takes a holistic view of children who are deaf or hard of hearing and stresses the child as a communicator rather than focusing on the disorder itself, and provides a useful framework for viewing and assessing children's communication abilities and goals at all stages of language development. It also includes specific assessment and treatment techniques to help develop and improve communication skills in order to maximize this populations' potential for learning.
