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 this wayEL 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 effectively bridges the gap between research and practice. -Suzanne Williams, review in Deafness & Education International The strength of this book comes through in the underlying messages that underpin effective early intervention in deaf education.
