Deaf Studies & Deaf Education

Deaf People: Evolving Perspectives from Psychology, Education, and Sociology is an examination of the psychology of the deaf community through history, current topics, and the personal experiences of the authors, two of whom are Deaf.

This text provides a unique perspective in that the topic—psychology and deaf people—is typically presented through the hearing person's perspective. The deaf person's perspective, as this book demonstrates, is important because it is the deaf community that is most impacted by the decisions professionals make, whether in school, in the clinic, or in the family. Case studies are presented throughout the text to demonstrate real-life issues and end-of-chapter study questions help reinforce chapter concepts.

• Learning Objectives on the first page of each chapter help instructors better organize their lessons.

• Current information about the deaf community is included within each chaper for professionals working within this community.

• Case studies in most chapters personalize the issues presented.

• The Introduction by Dr. McCay Vernon in Chapter 1 presents a historical introduction of value to the reader in understanding the text theme.

The deaf person's perspective as this book demonstrates is important because it is the deaf community that is most impacted by the decisions professionals make, whether in school in the clinic or in the family.
