Early childhood is a critical period for language acquisition, cognitive development, and social-emotional growth, making high-quality education essential for those who are deaf or hard of hearing. Effective early childhood deaf education requires specialized teacher preparation and carefully designed instructional approaches that address the linguistic and communication needs of young deaf learners. Educators must be trained in general early childhood pedagogy and deaf education strategies, including sign language proficiency, auditory-verbal techniques, and culturally responsive teaching. With ongoing debates around language modalities, inclusion practices, and access to early intervention services, the preparation of qualified teachers and the adoption of evidence-based instructional methods play a central role in shaping positive educational outcomes for deaf children. Early Childhood Deaf Education: Teacher Preparation and Instructional Approaches explores teacher preparation for the diverse needs of deaf and hard-of-hearing children in early childhood settings. It examines the effectiveness of various instructional approaches in supporting language development, academic readiness, and social integration. This book covers topics such as literacy, young students, and special education, and is a useful resource for educators, academicians, researchers, and scientists.
