The Silent Garden provides parents of deaf children with crucial information on the greater possibilities afforded their children today. Deaf since birth, professor of Deaf Studies Paul Ogden offers parents a firm foundation for making the decisions necessary to begin their child on the road to realizing his or her full potential. This encouraging book first helps parents to address critical concerns right away, such as how to communicate with their child. It then guides parents on issues such as educational choices, other beneficial professional help, and technological support. Case studies and interviews with parents of deaf children help to reassure parents that they can prepare their child for a full, productive life.

This Spanish translation of the first five chapters of The Silent Garden brings the benefit of this classic book to a new group of parents. This one-of-a-kind edition provides guidance to Spanish speakiing parents seeking to navigate the uncharted territory of their new experience. These chapters emphasize the foundational themes that for a successful life experience deaf children need a positive experience with their families and that the central issue to deafness is communication instead of hearing loss.
