Marc Marschark is a Professor at the National Technical Institute for the Deaf, a college of Rochester Institute of Technology, where he directs the Center for Education Research Partnerships. His primary interest is in relations among language, learning, and cognition; current research focuses on such relations among deaf children and adults in formal and informal educational settings.
"Marc Marschark has once again contributed valuable literature to
the field of deaf education...he points out that every child is
different and that every method works for some, but nothing works
for everyone, based on analyses of up-to-date research studies. He
reminds us that the most important and earliest teachers are (or
should be) the parent(s). Marschark destroys some myths and
provides understandable explanations of technical, linguistic, and
cultural
topics. His treatment of cochlear implants is comprehensive, and he
gives a needed view of the Least Restrictive Environment as it
applies uniquely to Deaf and Hard of Hearing learners. This book is
a
valuable tool for both parents and educators in making intelligent
decisions for all deaf learners, starting with the earliest
possible age."
