Music for Children with Hearing Loss - A Resource for Parents and Teachers

A autora Lyn Schraer-Joiner apresenta um caso convincente para oferecer educação musical a crianças com perda auditiva antes de apresentar uma série de estratégias de ensino importantes e atualizadas destinadas a informar sua experiência educacional, incluindo os preparativos para a sala de aula, estratégias de comunicação para os pais e corpo docente e dicas sobre assuntos mais específicos ou técnicos, como a condução de audiogramas musicais. Esses recursos fornecem uma base sólida para materiais de instrução práticos, como aulas de música, atividades suplementares, recursos educacionais, pontos de discussão e exemplos de diários para a sala de aula e em casa.
A mensagem deste livro é poderosa, especialmente nos dias de hoje. Conforme as tecnologias de aparelhos auditivos e implantes cocleares melhoram e se tornam cada vez mais difundidas, todos os professores - especialmente professores de música - devem esperar ver mais crianças surdas e com deficiência auditiva em suas salas de aula. Conscientização e preparação não são apenas vitais para ajudar essas crianças na sala de aula, mas na verdade são exigidas dos professores por lei federal.
Este livro é um recurso abrangente para professores e pais que desejam obter uma melhor compreensão do campo emergente da educação musical para alunos com perda auditiva.
