Regardless of a child's hearing abilities, increasing parents' knowledge about their baby or toddler's expected development and their confidence in their parenting abilities supports positive early interactions and developmental progress. Fortunately, as early hearing screening has become widespread, more information is available about development of deaf and hard-of-hearing infants and ways to best support their developing learning and language abilities. This book combines a review of up-to-date research with theory and first-hand observations to provide a framework for parents and professionals as they promote developmental achievements of infants and toddlers with limited hearing. In what ways is development of deaf and hard-of-hearing babies and toddlers like that of those with typical hearing? What specific challenges are likely to be faced by child and parent - and when are they most likely to occur? What modifications in parenting and caregiver interactive behaviors can help avoid or overcome these challenges? A strong, supportive foundation for optimal learning throughout life grows from early, positive, and responsive interactive experiences. This book provides information and guidelines for professionals and parents helping deaf and hard-of-hearing infants and toddlers build that foundation.

"The strength of this book comes through in the underlying messages that underpin effective early intervention in deaf education. The authors consistently emphasize the importance of meeting individual needs, supporting and empowering families, and the parent-child relationshipEL As a hearing professional, I found these intuitive visual communication strategies fascinating and could identify deaf children with hearing parents that would hugely benefit in thiswayEL I imagine this book becoming a key text for Deaf Education programs as well as an informative read for parents and other professionals new to the subject. The content is thorough and effectivelybridges the gap between research and practice." -Suzanne Williams, review in Deafness & Education International
