Recenzje

"Having embraced newborn screening for hearing sensitivity across the country and in many countries across the world, the promise of early identification of children who are deaf or hard of hearing is fulfilled only if access to language stimulation and timely and effective medical, audiological, and family-centered intervention services are provided. Marilyn Sass-Lehrer describes the principles which are the keys to fulfilling that promise. This new text covers theoretical and practical information that will be valuable for a wide audience of readers. " -Terrell A. Clark, Director of the Deaf and Hard of Hearing Program, Otolaryngology and Communication Enhancement, Boston Children's Hospital; Assistant Professor in Psychiatry, Harvard Medical School; Pediatric Psychologist; University Lecturer in Child Development
