Turning the Tide: Making Life Better for Deaf and Hard of Hearing Schoolchildren
by Gina A. Oliva Linda Risser LytleBoth Gina A. Oliva and Linda Risser Lytle know what it is like to be the only deaf student in a mainstream school. Though they became successful educators, they recognize the need to research the same isolation experienced by other deaf and hard of hearing persons. In this way, they hope to improve education for current and future deaf students. Their efforts have culminated in Turning the Tide: Making Life Better for Deaf and Hard of Hearing Schoolchildren. Turning the Tide presents a qualitative study of deaf and hard of hearing students who attended mainstream schools. The authors conducted three focus groups in different regions in the country, enlisting six to eight participants with diverse backgrounds for each session. They also gathered information from 113 online respondents who answered the same questions used in the focus groups. The respondents discussed many issues, including the difficulties of finding friends and social access, the struggle to establish an identity, the challenges of K-12 interpreting and class placement, and the vast potential of summer and weekend programs for deaf students. Their empowering stories clearly demonstrate that no deaf or hard of hearing student should be educated alone. The authors also elicited comments on other changes that parents, advocates, and other allies could work toward to improve further the educational environment of deaf children.

Poner límites es mucho más que lograr que "se porten bien": es enseñarlos a vivir como nos parece que es la mejor manera, es trabajar para hacer de ellos seres emocionalmente fuertes y buenas personas. Poner límites hoy encierra nuevos desafíos bien distintos a aquellos a los que nos enfrentábamos incluso apenas diez años atrás. El mundo es otro, y para este mundo es que los tenemos que preparar. En este libro pretendo que compartamos el para qué de los límites en la crianza actual, el cómo y el cuándo, sin descuidar un aspecto crucial para el desarrollo integral: el cuidado del bienestar del niño y del grupo familiar. Por eso es que el foco serán los niños, pero también ustedes, adultos a cargo de esta maravillosa y ardua tarea. Recorrer los años de vida compartidos con los hijos es la experiencia más gloriosa y crucial. Hagamos todo lo posible para que sea una etapa memorable y nutritiva para el adentro de todos, fortalecedora de esos lazos invisibles que duran para siempre.
