First published in 1992. With an ever-increasing number of deaf students entering higher education throughout the world, major strides need to be made in provision and support for them. This book recognises that the integration of deaf students into mainstream higher education raises complex and challenging problems. It has proved extremely difficult for deaf students to enter fully into the social and extra-curricular fabric of campus life – an essential factor in ensuring student success. The authors provide an assessment of state-of-the-art practice in postsecondary settings and suggest theoretical and practical approaches to providing support. There is discussion of the attainments of deaf graduates with commentaries by deaf persons about their experiences in college. In addition, statistics support the theoretical contentions and clearly demonstrate the benefits of postsecondary education to deaf people.

With many children who are deaf or hard of hearing now integrated in mainstream classroom settings, speech-language pathologists and school-based clinicians are encountering this population in growing numbers. This book is designed to help clinicians who may have little or no experience with this population to understand its unique communication needs and develop clinical skills for working with them. It takes a holistic view of children who are deaf or hard of hearing and stresses the child as a communicator rather than focusing on the disorder itself, and provides a useful framework for viewing and assessing children's communication abilities and goals at all stages of language development. It also includes specific assessment and treatment techniques to help develop and improve communication skills in order to maximize this populations' potential for learning.

Abstract: The needs of Head Start Program staff in mainstreaming handicapped children with hearing impairments are examined in a manual prepared for teachers and parents of hearing-impaired preschoolers. These children present special challenges to Project Head Start to plan educational activities, learning experiences and materials that permit them to mainstream into classroom with non-handicapped children. Teaching guidelines and techniques are presented to help hearing-impaired youngsters perform as well as normal children of the same age. Resources are reviewed which are available for help outside and Head Start. An appendix outlines test for screening and diagnosis of hearing problems and charts the normal development of the preschool child.
