Synopsis: As the author writes in his preface to the edition, Deaf education in the 21st century has and will continue to undergo a rapid transformation primarily due to the advent of technological advances, innovative educational opportunities, and shrinking cultural boundaries. This text provides professionals, preservice teachers, interpreters, counselors, and other related personnel with a broad and balanced perspective on current topics and trends germane to the field today. In the coverage of a wide array of topics that include educational perspectives, psychosocial precepts, communication modes, cochlear implants, advances in hearing-aid technology, and other timely and relevant topics, the reader is exposed to a panoramic view of a complex field rather than an in-depth analysis of each of the major dimensions. This text is a sourcebook on the many dimensions found within the field of deaf education. Designed as a teaching-learning vehicle, basic concepts recur in varying situations, and illustrations and some concepts are repeated in diverging contexts to promote comprehension and enhance retention.
