Abstract
The difficulties which may be experienced by the hearing children of deaf parents as they approach puberty are not often discussed in print although, for instance, the Open University course E241 (1982) does include a case study on such a family. The following description of a group of such children and the experimental help they received is given by Richard Flaxbeard, formerly senior educational psychologist, Bedfordshire County Council, now principal educational psychologist with the London Borough of Barnet, and by Wendy Toomey, senior social worker for the deaf, Bedfordshire. It may alert readers to the potential problems faced by hearing children of deaf parents and to possible ways of responding.
