An analysis and evaluation of the processes of communication among deaf children. Emphasizes actual observation in schools rather than relying solely on tests and experiments. Offers a number of criticisms of educational methods and teaching techniques, arguing that many of the deaf child's problems are not a 'natural' product of the disability but are created by ineffective educational methods.

Paperback. Condition: Very Good. The education of deaf children has been the subject of debate and controversy for centuries. The systematic study of deaf children's educational and linguistic abilities has a much shorter history, but investigations of their academic achievement and spoken and written language have now been undertaken in many parts of the world. The results of these surveys leave no room for complacency. The main concern of this book lies with the classroom experiences of deaf children who are being taught using "oral" methods. It illustrates how attempts to help children acquire spoken language and to help them learn often lead to counter-productive interactions between teachers and their pupils. More positively, it identifies more successful education techniques and discusses ways in which these might be implemented in the classroom. The book has been read, but is in excellent condition. Pages are intact and not marred by notes or highlighting. The spine remains undamaged. Seller Inventory # GOR001174629
