Analyzing Syntax and Semantics (review)

The introduction to this book noted that it was "prepared as a guide to parents who want their hearing-impaired children to learn to talk and who want to be included in the act of teaching" (p. 1). Chapters 1-4 address the effects of hearing loss on speech, audiology, hearing aids, and the need for a consistent monitoring program. Chapter 5 describes how to evaluate the teaching of speech in the educational setting, and also defines various approaches to teaching speech. Chapter 6 addresses the objective stated in the introductionÂ—how parents can help their deaf children use and improve their speech. This chapter is the weakest section of the book. It simply suggests the need for language experiences, carry-over between the classroom and the home, and the need for establishing an oral environment. Parent educators respond to many questions from parents about ways they can help their deaf children develop their speech skills. Parents need additional information on ways to enrich their children's language and speech environment. Neither parent educators nor parents themselves will find this book particularly helpful because this information is a summary of material that is already available in other sources, and it offers nothing new to the population for which it was intended.
