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.
