Republication of a landmark in the study of early deafness coinciding with the publication of the longitudinal follow-up to this study.
Originally published as The Deaf Child and His Family, 1976, this work, based on interviews with 122 mothers of deaf children under the age of six, investigates the ways in which deaf children develop, change, and are changed by their home and their wider environment.
