The aim of this booklet is to: (1) help prepare British teachers for the challenge of having a hearing-impaired child in regular classes; (2) provide practical advice for these teachers to use in the classroom; and (3) suggest further sources of information and reading. Chapters provide information on: support services for hearing impaired children; assessment of hearing ability; implications of hearing loss; hearing aids; lipreading or speech reading; practical suggestions for aiding the understanding of the hearing-impaired child during lessons; the hearing-impaired infant and preschooler; the hearing-impaired elementary school student; the hearing-impaired secondary school student; specific questions raised by teachers (student participation in physical education and games, ear soreness, use of aids, inattention); and employment services for hearing-impaired persons. Fourteen books dealing with the hearing impaired are listed. (CB)
