"This book "Deaf and Dumb Education" has brought out excellent advanced knowledge and concepts at the international level, available in the field of special education which has lost its borders now-a-days. It has presented the most up to date and latest ideas and practices enriched and supported by empirical evidences and research findings. Due to reinvention of special education the responsibilities of General and special education have been redefined and reinforced. The deaf and dumb children are no longer called "handicapped" and they demand accommodation and other facilities along with other ordinary students. They are rather more assisted with more scientific techniques and sophisticated aids and demand more attention and support from the society and governments.
The chapters provide both a broad context for understanding the educational development of deaf and dumb children and an outline for fostering their growth.
It is hoped that with the latest ideas and modern technologies, the technical workers, teachers and researchers concerned with deaf and dumb education will be in a better position to help the deaf and dumb people." (jacket)
