Breaking the Sound Barriers: 9 Deaf Success Stories Review

Average Reviews:

(More customer reviews)A must-read for families of deaf and hard of hearing children. Many books on deafness these days try to push an oral or signing agenda, but I like it that this one represents a range of perspectives, from oral, signing and bilingual backgrounds. It is a truly honest account of what is like to go through life with a hearing loss, with a fundamental message that anything can be achieved with a bit of persistence.
