Deafness: 1993-2013--The Dilemma.

Tucker, Bonnie

Volta Review, v95 n2 p105-08 Spr 1993

This article identifies two potentially conflicting trends in deafness--technological progress and societal progress. The rejection of technological progress working to "cure" deafness by some in the deaf community may conflict with demands that society should provide special services for deaf people to allow them full social participation. Implications for the next 20 years are noted. (DB)
