Shaping the early care and education of young deaf children in Ghana

Abstract

Early childhood care and education (ECCE) for deaf1 children is facilitated in economically rich countries by early identification and prompt access to family-centred intervention. For most low-income countries, this starting point cannot be assumed, and context-sensitive models are needed. Interviews with caregivers of deaf children in Ghana highlight the value of understanding the influence of the environment on caregiver-child relationships and supportive interaction as a basis for the development of ECCE.
