The Silent Garden

The Silent Garden

The Silent Garden provides parents of deaf children with crucial information on the greater possibilities afforded their children today. Deaf since birth, professor of Deaf Studies Paul Ogden offers parents a firm foundation for making the decisions necessary to begin their child on the road to realizing his or her full potential. This encouraging book first helps parents to address critical concerns right away, such as how to communicate with their child. It then guides parents on issues such as educational choices, other beneficial professional help, and technological support. Case studies and interviews with parents of deaf children help to reassure parents that they can prepare their child for a full, productive life.
