    Why don't you give exact delivery time?

    Delivery time is estimated on our previous experiences. We give estimations only, because we order from outside Hungary, and the delivery time mainly depends on how quickly the publisher supplies the book. Faster or slower deliveries both happen, but we do our best to supply as quickly as possible.

    Long description:

    This book highlights the wide impact of deafness on many aspects of communication for deaf children and young people, and those around them. It explores input, semantics, grammar, and speech, and how you as a practitioner can apply this knowledge in different contexts, including for early years support.


    Each chapter considers the impact of deafness on key communication components and provides you with opportunities to reflect on and extend knowledge and practice in each area. A range of strategies and activities are presented that can enhance the support you offer.


    Key features include:


    ? a framework to guide you to use your knowledge and the available resources to maximum effect with deaf children and young people


    ? clear explanations throughout built on wide research evidence to enable you to employ approaches that will make a difference


    ? a set of adaptable checklists to provide efficient assessment to help planning


    ? a focus on supporting communicative independence in collaboration with each deaf child and young person


    Written in an accessible, engaging format, this book equips practitioners with a range of tools to support the development of communicative independence and includes reflective questions to consolidate knowledge. It is a must-read for any practitioner working with deaf children and young people and their families.



    ?This expertly crafted practitioner guide draws on extensive experience, knowledge, and research offering both practical and theoretical insights into working with deaf children and young people. Judy and Sarah?s expertise informs every chapter, reinforcing core principles while introducing fresh perspectives that will enhance and strengthen your professional practice.?


    Ruth Merritt, Highly Specialist speech and language therapist with deaf people, Independent practitioner


    ?This book is an accessible and in-depth resource for speech and language therapists and teachers of deaf children. It takes a broad approach to the development of languages, which is necessary given the widely divergent experiences of deaf babies, children and young people. The flexibility and creativity in the approaches will provide practitioners with confidence in their work. I highly recommend it.?


    Rachel O?Neill, Senior Lecturer in deaf education, University of Edinburgh
