That first chapter packs a lot of summer heat." --The Washington Post on The Evolution of Calpurnia Tate

Cued Speech and Cued Language Development for Deaf and Hard of Hearing Children

Cued Speech and Cued Language Development for Deaf and Hard of Hearing Children

Carol LaSasso; Kelly Lamar Crain; Jacqueline Leybaert

Plural Publishing Inc
2010
nidottu
This much-anticipated scholarly volume promises to be an essential/must-have resource for anyone who is interested in natural language acquisition, the development of reading, and academic achievement of deaf and hard of hearing children. It is a compilation of research and practical applications of cued speech and cued language, authored by 39 authors from nine different fields of study (speech science, hearing science, linguistics, psycholinguistics, neurolinguistics, cognition, transliteration, computer science, and deaf education) in four countries. This theoretically and empirically based volume is a vital source of information to any advocate, professional, or parent of a deaf child. It promises to be a required book in graduate courses in deaf education programs as well as libraries of schools serving deaf children across the country. Readers of this book will learn that cueing has moved far beyond Cornett's 1966 invention of Cued Speech.This is true in terms of its use (by whom, how, and for what purposes); its status as a means of first-order language transmission; and cross-disciplinary contributions to numerous other fields of study, including: linguistics, psycholinguistics, cognition, speech science, hearing science, reading, and deaf education. Our understanding of visual language and communication has been enhanced by the inclusion of Cued Speech in academic dialogues by highlighting the similarities and differences among spoken, signed, and cued language. Readers will learn of the latest computer-generated aids to communication, which are either being developed for use with Cued Speech or were conceived because of Cued Speech. Readers will also learn of the expanding role of Cued Speech in the lives of hearing and deaf individuals (e.g., developmental, social, academic). Finally, readers of this book will understand how the case of Cued Speech lends further support to the notion that children, regardless of hearing status, have an irrepressible predisposition to acquire language, whether signed, spoken, or cued, whether alphabetic or tonal.

Nurturing the Family: A Doula's Guide to Supporting New Parents

Nurturing the Family: A Doula's Guide to Supporting New Parents

Jacqueline Kelleher

Praeclarus Press
2020
nidottu
A new edition for the changing landscape of new parenting. A new edition for the changing landscape of new parenting. As society changes, so do the ways in which we define family. As fewer and fewer families live communally and traditional means of support become less viable, many parents are left feeling isolated and unsupported. As families evolve, their needs and the responsibilities of those who support them have to be reimagined. Jacqueline Kelleher’s second edition of Nurturing the Family is designed to identify the needs of growing families and provide tangible solutions and strategies for the people who serve them. The needs of families and the profession of doula support have evolved in the years since the first edition. This book reflects those changes and is for doulas, supporting professionals, and everyone else committed to supporting a diversity of families with sensitivity and compassion. Praise for Nurturing the Family "This well-organized practical guide clearly describes the role and responsibilities of the postpartum doula. It is a must-read for all postpartum doulas and others who care for new families. The greater value of this book, however, is that it represents a tangible solution to one of our society’s greatest problems – the lack of support, assistance and empowerment of new mothers and fathers as they begin their journey through the unfamiliar territory of parenthood.” — Penny Simkin,Co-author of Pregnancy, Childbirth and the Newborn: The Complete Guide, and author of The Birth Partner: Everything You Need to Know to Help a Woman Through Childbirth "I have been waiting for this book for a long time. It is terrific – thoughtfully, carefully and clearly written with all sorts of valuable information. Jackie Kelleher makes clear that the postpartum doula is a professional filling a crucial role of immense importance for new mothers and their babies, a role that successful human societies have appreciated and supported for hundreds of thousands of years. Professionals, students, family members and others who help a new mother in the first postpartum weeks should all read this book and have a copy with them when they provide postpartum assistance.” — Dr. John Kennell, Researcher, author, and co-founder of Doulas of North America
