Description

The Psychological Development of Deaf Children provides a comprehensive examination of the psychological development of deaf children. Due to their often language-imporverished environments, particularly for those with non-signing parents, deaf children's social and cognitive development may differ significantly from hearing children. This book offers a balanced consideration of existing research, focusing on how the psychological development of deaf children is influenced by their interactions with parents, peers, and teachers. The author has integrated an understanding of social, language, and cognitive development as they are affected by childhood deafness, taking into account recent findings on manual communication, parent-child interactions, and intellectual and academic assessments. The book will be of interest to students, teachers, and researchers studying deafness and its relationship with speech and hearing, developmental psychology, social work, and medicine.
