Choices in Deafness
Explores the most appropriate communication methodologies and the social change that has occurred within the deaf culture over the last decade.
Parents of children with hearing impairments are faced with a complex decision when it comes to choosing the most appropriate communication method for their child. This new editon of Choices in Deafness covers three methodologies: American Sign Language, Amplification, Cued Speech, Oral Approach, and Total Communication. Experts present each methodology, supplemented by several personal accounts of first-hand experience. The personal stories provide insight into how the same young people profiled in the first edition have coped with their deafness through adolescence or into adulthood. The second Edition also explores the social change that has occurred within the deaf culture during the last decade and some controversies surrounding particular communications and education methods. 275 pages 5 1/2" x 8 1/2"

Eight In A Row: Developing Pre-Reading Skills
Before a child can learn to read, there are essential "pre-reading" skills that a child must master. Three of the most important are sequencing, left-right progression, and time progression (before and after). All can be explored and practiced with Eight In A Row. The puzzles show scenes that are familiar to most children. There is a child making a painting and a child getting up in the morning. Each piece has only one place to fit it onto the next piece, so children with delayed fine motor skills can usually manage the puzzle-fitting with a minimum of frustration.
