This book details the experiences of a representative group of American parents and their deaf or hard of hearing children from identification of hearing loss to the early elementary grades during the last decade of the twentieth century. The parents report their goals and expectations, the children’s achievements and troubles, their family’s satisfactions and disappointments with health and educational systems.When the children were born, in 1989 and 1990, these systems were in the throes of dramatic shifts in provisions for infants and toddlers with disabilities. Technological advances led to the expanded use of cochlear implants and earlier identification of hearing loss.The Individuals with Disabilities Education Act (IDEA), passed in 1986 and reauthorized in 1997, required that parents be included in planning educational programs for their children with disabilities.[download]
