The Oxford Handbook of Deaf Studies, Language, and Education

Oxford Handbooks offer authoritative and up-to-date reviews of original research in a particular subject area. Specially commissioned chapters from leading figures in the discipline give critical examinations of the progress and direction of debates, as well as a foundation for future research. Oxford Handbooks provide scholars and graduate students with compelling new perspectives upon a wide range of subjects in the humanities, social sciences, and sciences.

"This handbook will undoubtedly become a treasured volume in the libraries of researchers, educators, and clinicians in the field. The text leaves one with a sense of hopefulness about progress made, but also a strong sense of urgency about the need to address persisting and new challenges with flexible paradigms." Mary Pat Moeller, Director, Center for Childhood Deafness, Boys Town National Research Hospital

"In this follow-up volume, Marschark and Spencer have amassed a collection that is impressive in breadth and depth. The research presented here documents the sea-change observable in classrooms and schools for deaf children and is reflected in the variety of chapters...A masterful companion to the original volume." C. Tane Akamatsu, Psychologist, Toronto District School Board
