"When Richard Medugno and his wife Brenda learned in 1993 that their 17-month-old daughter Miranda was deaf, they grieved, as many hearing parents do. Soon, however, Medugno seized hold of the need to take positive action for Miranda. Deaf Daughter, Hearing Father recounts the remarkable story of their journey together during the first fourteen years of her life." "Medugno first researched the best communication method for Miranda. Quickly dismissing the speech pathology model, he and his wife chose American Sign Language (ASL) alone as the best, natural language for Miranda. He surrounded his daughter with opportunities to learn ASL, by interacting with deaf individuals and families and also by hiring deaf babysitters. He also determined to learn ASL himself to ensure complete communication with his daughter. As Miranda neared school age, Medugno spearheaded a transcontinental search for exactly the right school for her education. So that Miranda could attend the California School for the Deaf (CSD), the Medugno family moved from Toronto to Fremont, CA." "In Deaf Daughter, Hearing Father, Medugno shares practical information on many of the common challenges faced by hearing parents. He provides a list of games that hearing and deaf children can play together, an important consideration for many families. His enthusiasm for all possibilities, from exploring the potential of video phones to helping stage CSD musicals, reveals his abiding devotion to Miranda."--Jacket.

A significant number of d/Deaf and hard of hearing (d/Dhh) children and adolescents experience challenges in acquiring a functional level of English language and literacy skills in the United States (and elsewhere). To provide an understanding of this issue, this book explores the theoretical underpinnings and synthesizes major research findings. It also covers critical controversial areas such as the use of assistive hearing devices, language, and literacy assessments, and inclusion. Although the targeted population is children and adolescents who are d/Dhh, contributors found it necessary to apply our understanding of the development of English in other populations of struggling readers and writers such as children with language or literacy disabilities and those for whom English is not the home language. Collectively, this information should assist scholars in conducting further research and enable educators to develop general instructional guidelines and strategies to improve the language and literacy levels of d/Dhh students. It is clear that there is not a 'one-size-fits-all' concept, but, rather, research and instruction should be differentiated to meet the needs of d/Dhh students. It is our hope that this book stimulates further theorizing and research and, most importantly, offers evidence- and reason-based practices for improving language and literacy abilities of d/Dhh students.

Les Sourds parlent avec leurs mains et entendent avec leurs yeux. Familiarisé avec la langue des signes française, André Meynard travaille comme psychanalyste, notamment avec des enfants, des adolescents et des adultes Sourds. À partir de cette clinique, il montre que la parole des Sourds qui signent s'articule à la dimension désirante. Il rend compte de leur créativité langagière et nous invite à découvrir comment l'inconscient s'y manifeste par exemple, à travers lapsus, traits d'esprit, récits de rêves... Contrairement aux discours officiels qui considèrent les enfants Sourds comme des handicapés de la parole et du langage, André Meynard nous engage à prendre la mesure de ce qu'ils nous enseignent par l'originalité de leur prise de parole. En effet, non seulement l'œil entend mais le geste nous inscrit en langage : en aucune manière ces modalités langagières ne font obstacle à l'acquisition d'une langue écrite ou vocale. Après avoir été longtemps interdite, la LSF se voit aujourd'hui écartée des lieux d'accueil et d'éducation des enfants Sourds, ce qui contribue à les faire taire. Pour l'auteur, la SPN (Surdité permanente néonatale) à détecter dès le 2e jour de vie fait partie des maladies inventées par les experts sanitaires qui soumettent déjà tous les dysfonctionnels, les hyperactifs, les futurs délinquants aux mêmes grilles d'évaluation si prisées par nos cultures de la norme, sourdes à l'altérité.
