A FAMILY DECISION

Parents who get a diagnosis that their child is deaf express emotions like: Denial ("The test must be wrong.") and Being Overwhelmed ("Many people inflicting their opinions.") This video helps a deaf child's parents choose an appropriate communication approach for their whole family.

Experts and parents who made these choices discuss four Communication Options:
• Auditory/Verbal Developing listening skills, amplifying residual hearing with aids and implants.
• American Sign Language
• Auditory/Oral Lip reading and aggressive hearing amplification.
• Total Communication Combining methods to help a child develop natural language skills.

This video helps parents, service providers, and college students understand that there is no "one right way" of communicating with deaf children that will meet the needs of all families. The emphasis is on researching the various communication options, choosing what is best for a family, and starting the communication process early.
