Speechreading, A Way to Improve Understanding

The goal of Speechreading: A Way to Improve Understanding is to present the nature and process of speechreading and its benefits and limitations.  The book was designed as a source of information for hard of hearing adults of all ages and degrees of hearing loss, their families and friends, and parents of hard of hearing children.  It is hoped the book will clarify commonly held misconceptions and enable hard of hearing people to use speechreading wisely and well.  It is also the hope the book may aid professionals and professionals-in-training in providing habilitative/rehabilitative services in classrooms and clinics.
