Because speech-language pathologists, audiologists, and teachers of the hearing-impaired have contact with parents of the hearing-impaired child, they are urged to undertake the responsibility of providing supportive counseling to these parents during the period following diagnosis of hearing impairment. Such a service requires a broader professional role than may previously have been envisioned. The authors suggest that the counseling program be aimed at both the growth of the family as a whole as well as that of the hearing-impaired child. It should promote the succession of stages that parents appear to pass through in the process of acknowledging their child's handicap. The nature of the parents' feelings, the source of their feelings, and ways in which the professional involved may deal with these feelings are discussed. Examples from the writers' clinical experience are presented. |
