520    In Raising and Educating a Deaf Child, Marc Marschark 
       offers parents and teachers a readable and comprehensive 
       summary including everything a parent would want to know 
       about growing up deaf. Parents of a deaf child, like the 
       parents of any child, want to know the answers to some 
       apparently straightforward questions, such as "What kind 
       of school will provide my child with the best education?" 
       "What language experience is best for my child, sign or 
       speech?" "Will my child be able to get a good job?" 
       Marschark addresses these questions and more, with topics 
       ranging from what it means to be deaf and the uniqueness 
       of Deaf culture to the medical causes of early hearing 
       loss, from technological aids for the deaf such as TTYs 
       and cochlear implants to the educational and social 
       opportunities available to deaf children. He describes the
       many ways that the environment of home and school can 
       influence a deaf child's chances for success in both 
       academic and social circles. Above all, he emphasizes the 
       need for early detection of hearing loss and the 
       importance of being able to communicate with deaf children
       from a very early age, recommending that parents of deaf 
       children learn sign language and use it often. This is not
       a "how to" book or one with all the "right" answers for 
       raising a deaf child. This is a guide through the many 
       conflicting suggestions and programs for raising deaf 
       children, as well as the likely implications of taking one
       direction or the other.
