+ Enlarge Image JW1st18months	Hearing Impaired Infants - Support in the First Eighteen Months The tremendous amount of work that goes into the diagnosis and subsequent management of a young child with a permanent sensory-neural hearing loss involves both professionals from health and education services and parents. Though it is now widely accepted by professionals that parents should be regarded as full members of the team supporting the hearing-impaired child, many still do not have a clear idea of what this means in practice. The purpose of this book is to share information about this work among all those involved. Written by professionals who have long experience of working in real co-operation with parents and who allow the voice of parents to come through clearly.

It is based on the accounts of the parents of 20 children who took part in a research project, evaluating the effectiveness of community-based speech and language therapy for pre-school children. The book aims to provide information for parents and professionals working with young children about the difficulties that may arise in their speech and language development. It also describes what speech and language therapy may entail. While the focus throughout the book is on the parents' responses to their children's difficulties and the therapy process they underwent, the parents' accounts are supplemented with information from other research carried out in the field of early speech and language delays.
