This volume presents the latest research on language, literacy and numeracy, cognition, and social and emotional development of deaf learners. It is written by internationally recognized researchers and practitioners. In their contributions they discuss the backgrounds and contexts of their research, take interdisciplinary perspectives in merging their own research results with outcomes of relevant research of others, and examine the consequences and future directions for teachers and teaching. The volume focuses on the topic of transforming state-of-the-art research into teaching practices in deaf education. It does so by addressing how we can improve outcomes of deaf education through professional development of teachers, construction and implementation of evidence-based teaching practices, and considering “the whole child,” thus emphasizing the importance of integrative, interdisciplinary approaches.
