"After reading this book, parents who may be feeling inadequate about their parenting skills or fearful about providing a good education for their deaf or hard-of-hearing child should be more at ease, and teachers will gain insight into the complexities involved in deaf education and be better equipped to teach these children." - Library Journal
"Using common terminology and drawing upon years of clinical experience, the authors dispel a number of myths regarding what is "best" or "impractical" for the education of deaf children. Rather, they offer basic guidelines for parents and teachers who live and work with these children on a day-to-day basis.The authors also present specific recommendations for academic instruction in the general classroom for teachers and families of deaf children. Summing Up: Highly recommended. General readers and professionals." -- J. D. Neal, University of Central Missouri
"How Deaf Children Learn represents an excellent beginning step in understanding deaf
children, their learning, and most beneficial educational situations. Despite its specificity,
the book can have multiple uses within the psychological community-- primarily as an
introduction for parents who are a clinician's clients, for students in teacher education
programs, for teachers of general education as well as special education, and within special
education programs. Quick, eminently readable, and realistic, it is a book from which
readers will absorb a great deal of valuable information. As a professional in the field of
special education, I wish there were a book like this covering each disability!" -- Cynthia C. Siebel, PsycCRITIQUES
