ABOUT THE BOOK
| From the Publisher | |
| The Silent Garden provides parents of deaf children
with crucial information on the greater possibilities afforded
their children today. Deaf since birth, Paul Ogden, a professor of
Deaf Studies, offers parents a firm foundation for making the
difficult decisions necessary to begin their child on the road to
realizing his or her full potential. This encouraging book first
helps parents to address critical concerns right away, such as how
to communicate with their child. It then guides parents on issues
such as what type of school their child can attend, what kinds of
professional help are beneficial to the family, and what
technological alternatives are available. Case studies and
interviews with parents of deaf children help to reassure parents
that they can prepare their child for a full, productive life. | |
