Description
– Foundations, Strategies and Resources
This volume offers foundational information and research-based strategies for meeting the needs of deaf and hard-of-hearing learners with disabilities. The disabilities covered in this volume include developmental delays, autism spectrum disorder, intellectual and learning disabilities, deafblindness, emotional and behavioural disorders, attention deficit hyperactivity disorder and a variety of high incidence syndromes. Contributors examine the literature within each disability category, share best practices and consider demographics/characteristics, intervention/identification, placement, communication/language, psychosocial issues, assistive technologies/accommodations, assessments and transition/post-secondary outcomes.
Each chapter begins with learning objectives and concludes with discussion questions and a resource list. Deaf and Hard of Hearing Learners with Disabilities is an essential book for courses at the undergraduate and graduate level, and in workshops and webinars for in-service teachers, professionals, and families.
