March 06, 2003
Collaboratively written by Patricia M. Chute (Associate Professor, Department of Communication Disorders, Mercy College, Dobbs Ferry, NY) and Mary Ellen Nevins (Professor, Department of Communication Disorders and Deafness, Kean University, Union, New Jersey), The Parents' Guide To Cochlear Implants is a straightforward and highly accessible guide written especially for the parents of deaf children. Detailing in highly accessible, no-nonsense language the pros and cons of cochlear implants, each detail of the surgical procedure, how implants are used as tools for language development, information about device maintenance, a special section about cochlear implants and deaf culture that stresses the importance of consensus building rather than vehement attempts to persuade deaf people to accept implants, or vehement attempts to dissuade parents from opting for implant surgery, and much more. The Parents' Guide To Cochlear Implants is an absolute "must" read for any parent considering a cochlear implant for their child.
