Download or read book Raising Kids with Cochlear Implants written by Amy Milani Ph. D. and published by . This book was released on 2014-02 with total page 144 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: In her book, Raising Kids with Cochlear Implants, Amy Milani shares personal narratives about her experience raising a son and daughter with cochlear implants. Excerpts from a journal she wrote following her son's surgery describe exactly how he began listening and learning language with a cochlear implant. Stories pulled from daily life as expatriates in Germany reveal how her son acquires a selection of favorite words. When her daughter is also born with hearing loss, the family moves back to the U.S. to find an appropriate preschool and support system for cochlear implants and to fully embrace oral deaf education. In alternate chapters, Amy discusses broader issues affecting family life such as the challenges a young child faces wearing equipment and the social implications of hearing in a way that's unfamiliar to most people. Her narratives provide authentic evidence of the joys and struggles parents experience when helping children with cochlear implants transition into the hearing world. Speaking from thirteen years of experience, Amy addresses the commitment required by parents to help their children learn to listen and speak with cochlear implants. Her personal narratives are of a family ready to take on the responsibility for their children's hearing well beyond surgery. She explains how her son and daughter are part of a new generation of kids identified early with hearing loss who grow up with cochlear implants, relying on parents to make it all happen. She calls these children "Generation CI." In this book, she motivates new parents to get answers about their child's hearing loss and hopes to reach those who are interested in learning more about what life is like for families with young children who have cochlear implants.

Book Synopsis Everybody Belongs by : Arthur Shapiro
Download or read book Everybody Belongs written by Arthur Shapiro and published by Routledge. This book was released on 2003-09 with total page 562 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The evil prosthesis of Captain Hook, the comical speech of Porky Pig, and the bumbling antics of Mr. Magoo are all examples of images in our culture which can become the basis of negative attitudes and subliminal prejudice towards persons with disabilities. These attitudes influence and underlie discriminatory acts, resulting in negative treatment and segregation. A teacher's ability to recognize and counter such images may well determine the success of inclusion and mainstreaming programs in our schools and society. Well-researched and well-written, this book offers practical guidance as grounded in solid research to schools that are wrestling with how to mainstream children with disabilities.

Book Synopsis A Loss for Words by : Lou Ann Walker
Download or read book A Loss for Words written by Lou Ann Walker and published by Harper Collins. This book was released on 2011-10-04 with total page 227 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: "A deeply moving, often humorous, and beautiful account of what it means to be the hearing child of profoundly deaf parents . . . I have rarely read anything on the subject more powerful or poignant than this extraordinary personal account by Lou Ann Walker." — Oliver Sacks From the time she was a toddler, Lou Ann Walker acted as the ears and voice for her parents, who had lost their hearing at a young age. As soon as she was old enough to speak, her childhood ended, and she immediately assumed the responsibility of interpreter—translating doctors’ appointments and managing her parents’ business transactions. Their family life was warm and loving, but outside the home, they faced a world that misunderstood and often rejected them. In this deeply moving memoir, Walker offers us a glimpse of a different world, bringing with it a broader reflection on how parents grow alongside their children and how children learn to navigate the world through the eyes of their parents.
