Where to get more information
Here is a small selection of organizations and printed materials that can
provide useful information about deafness and young children. We have
tried to list organizations and materials covering as many of the topics
in this book as possible, and to include groups working in all areas of the
world. Many of the printed materials are easy to adapt and often include
other helpful resource lists.
