Communication Considerations A-Z™
A parent in Indianapolis recently posed the question, “if I’m a hearing person, how do I even know what I don’t know about raising and educating a child who is deaf (or hard of hearing)?” At Hands & Voices, we think that’s a very good question, and the answers are complex and evolving. So we’ve attempted to shed some light through a series called “Communication Considerations.” Communication Considerations A to Z™ is a series from Hands & Voices that's designed to help families and the professionals working with them access information and further resources to assist them in raising and educating children who are deaf or hard of hearing. We've recruited some of the best in the business to share their insights on the many diverse considerations that play into communication modes & methods, and so many other variables that are part of informed decision making. We hope you find the time to read them all!
You can click on a letter and find the corresponding articles in alphabetical order ranging from ASL to Cochlear Implants, Acoustical Adaptations to Research to Self-Advocacy for Teens. All topics are concisely written by qualified authors who answer four specific questions:
- What is (selected Communication Considerations topic)?
- What issues are at the forefront of (this consideration)?
- What should every parent or professional know about (fill in the blank)?
- Where else can I find information about (this subject)? (Author/expert provides up to three recommended resources including books and/or websites)
Keep watching this series unfold as we add more and more topics to the list of Communication Considerations.
