Publisher's Synopsis
Excerpt from Communication Development in Young Children With Deaf-Blindness: Literature Review I
Perhaps no handicapping condition is as debilitating to young children as the dual sensory impairment of deaf-blindness. All too often, children with this type of condition fail to develop even rudimentary communication skills. This situation is further exacerbated by a relative absence of systematic research assessment tools and training curricula expressly designed for persons with deaf-blindness. Fortunately, in recent years, the professional community has directed more attention to this population, and various research endeavors have been initiated to develop materials for use with this population.
