Deafness (Living With...) - Hardcover
Explaining why some people are deaf; the range of the word "deafness", from being slightly impaired to total deafness; the difference between going to a mainstream or a special school, and how deaf people manage, this book shows readers through four case studies, that it is often society , not deaf people's condition, that limits them. This book has been checked by the National Deaf Children's Society and the RNID and included is a list of useful addresses and organisations.

About the Author:
Emma Haughton is a freelance journalist and writer, specializing in health and family issues. She is the author of several non-fiction books for young people dealing with drug abuse and other related subjects.
From School Library Journal:
Gr 3-5-These volumes introduce readers to people with disabilities and show how they go about their everyday lives. Haughton offers a simple explanation of the anatomy of the ear to help children understand various types of hearing loss and their causes, from infection to fluid in the ear. Hearing aids, cochlear implants, and TTYs are described, as are various methods of communication, such as sign language, finger spelling, and lip reading. Westcott gives a brief explanation of how the eye normally functions and looks at some of the causes of visual impairment, such as cataracts, disease, glaucoma, and other conditions. Many aids are described, such as talking kitchen scales, large-print keypads, and mugs that beep when filled. Full-color photos appear throughout both of these attractive and accessible introductions.-Christine A. Moesch, Buffalo & Erie County Public Library, NY
