The authors' model of auditory, speech, and language development has been used successfully with the deaf and hard of hearing population, in training preservice teachers, and in workshops and presentations for practicing professionals. This essential resource introduces the authors' developmental model and addresses:
1. Creative and scientific ways of interacting with children with hearing loss to develop spoken communication.
2. Effective approaches, techniques, and strategies for working with children in the primary grades.
3. Techniques for imparting social and academic information while children are learning to communicate.
