Editorial Review
Deaf Education in America: Voices of Children from Inclusion Settings provides a detailed examination of the complex issues surrounding the integration of deaf students into the general classroom. Author Janet Cerney begins her comprehensive work by stressing to parents, educators, and policymakers the importance of learning the circumstances in which mainstreaming and inclusion can be successful for deaf students. This process requires stakeholders to identify and evaluate the perceived benefits and risks before making placement and implementation decisions. The influences of the quality of communication and the relationships built by and with the students are of paramount importance in leading to success.
In conjunction with these principles, this thorough study examines the theory and history behind inclusion, including the effects of the No Child Left Behind education act. Cerney incorporates this knowledge with interviews of the deaf students themselves as well as with their interpreters and teachers. To ensure complete candidness, the students were surveyed in their homes, and the interpreters and educators were questioned separately. Through these exchanges, Cerney could determine what worked well for the deaf students, what barriers interfered with their access to communication, and what support structures were needed to eliminate those barriers. As a result, Deaf Education in America offers concrete information on steps that can be taken to ensure success in an inclusion setting, results that reverberate through the voices of the deaf students.

The Education of Deaf Children: They Are More Than Just Kids Who Can't Hear 
2008-05-16
Author and researcher Janet Cerney examines the unique needs of deaf children in educational settings. Most children with disabilities have benefitted greatly from mainstreaming - enabling the child with a handicap to learn in a regular classroom. However, deaf children have never really benefitted from mainstreaming, especially in smaller school districts that may not have a need for a comprehensive deaf-education program.
This is an important must-read book for educators and school administrators who need to understand the needs of their deaf students.
The author interviewed ten deaf students, five deaf adults, ten educational (sign-language) interpreters, four regular teachers, and two deaf education teachers. The deaf individuals were interviewed with a sign-language interpreter, which removed possible barriers to communication that often result from the use of standard written English surveys and forms.
