Forest Books: Kathy Robinson & Simon McKeown Best Of Both Worlds

This highly acclaimed multi-layered BBC documentary takes the lid off the Deaf World. Shown on television three times, it is now available on video. Its broad-ranging content covers Deaf culture, the nature of BSL and the implications of a late diagnosis on the development of the brain, choices parents make (oralism or bi-lingualism), an animated explanation of the workings of the ear and causes of deafness and the problems of the deafened which includes the inherent difficulties of lipreading. Working on many levels, it is highly recommended for Parents, Deaf Awareness Trainers, BSL Students, Teachers and Deaf people themselves. VIDEO (individual) 30mins 2001
