The Pediatrician and the Parent of the Deaf Child

David M. Luterman D.Ed.1 and Judith Chasin M.A.1

1 Emerson College Robbins Speech and Hearing Clinic 168 Beacon Street Boston, Massachusetts 02116

In most instances, the pediatrician is the first professional person the parent of a young child consults when a hearing loss is suspected. The extent to which he is able to counsel the family about the child's handicap will, to a large degree, determine the eventual education and social success of the child. Since most pediatricians will encounter only a few congenitally deaf children during their years in practice, they may well be unfamiliar with the recent advances in diagnosis and education of the young deaf child and the sources of referral for these children. Therefore, the following parent survey was undertaken to see how well the pediatrician responded to the needs of the parents of confirmed deaf children, and in which areas he appeared to be lacking the kind of formation that the parent wished to have.
