Adjustment and Support
Despite the fact that nearly two million people in North America are deaf, few books have been written that address the lengthy adjustment and acceptance processes an adult acquiring deafness goes through. To help make coping with deafness more successful, the authors have included their model on the adjustment process. Readers will find information on deafness and its causes, and resources for self-help, professional, and peer support. The authors demonstrate that deafness is not simply a medical condition, but a social disability affecting the individual, family, social circle, and work group. As deaf professionals, the authors validate the issues raised in the book with their own experiences. [Kathryn Woodcock; Miguel Aguayo; (2000) 248 pages; soft cover]
