Abstract From the Back Cover: Provides educators and novice practitioners with the knowledge and skills in spoken language development to support students who are deaf or hard of hearing. The authors' model of auditory, speech, and language development has been used successfully with the deaf and hard of hearing population, in teaching preservice teachers, and in workshops and presentations for practicing professionals. This essential resource introduces the authors' developmental approach and addresses: Creative and scientific ways of interacting with children with hearing loss to develop spoken communication; Effective approaches, techniques, and strategies for working with students in the primary grades; Techniques for imparting social and academic information while children are learning to communicate. This authoritative reference gives teachers the confidence to provide a well-prepared, intensely stimulating environment that fosters the natural emergence of spoken language.
