Development of Deaf Bicultural Identity.

Holcomb, Thomas K.

American Annals of the Deaf, v142 n2 p89-93 Apr 1997

The importance of providing children with deafness with opportunities to develop a solid deaf identity at an early age, which is based on Epstein's model of self-theory, is discussed. Seven categories of possible identities for people with deafness are outlined and the stages of developing a bicultural awareness presented. (Author/CR)
