Reviews

<p> This book represents a landmark in the science on competence and resilience in individuals and families who navigate the challenges of deafness over the life course, providing an impressive overview of the theory, issues, and evidence on adaptation and development. The volume underscores the benefits and limitations of a resilience framework for integrating and applying the growing knowledge on adaptation in the context of deafness. The maturing science on development and resilience in relation to deafness has the potential to help a wide range of families, educators, practitioners and communities to appreciate and promote diverse pathways to success in life, while at the same time making unique and important contributions to the science of human development. <p>Ann S.
