This article presents an overview of the development of deaf children. The central difficulty for these children is acquiring language; however, delays in language development are not inevitable. Deaf children of deaf parents are less likely to experience problems in this and other areas of development than are deaf children of hearing parents, although this latter group represents 90% of the population of deaf children. Much more needs to be known about the development of deaf children and the environmental strategies that maximize the development of children with a major sensory deficit. The implications for caregiving to deaf children and their families are discussed.
本文概述了聋儿的发育情况。这些儿童面临的核心困难是语言习得；然而，语言发育迟缓并非不可避免。与听力正常父母的聋儿相比，聋人父母的聋儿在这一发育领域及其他领域出现问题的可能性较小，尽管后一组占聋儿总数的90%。关于聋儿的发育以及能最大限度促进有严重感官缺陷儿童发育的环境策略，仍有许多需要了解的地方。本文还讨论了对聋儿及其家庭护理的影响。
