| Why |
95% of deaf children has hearing parents, who get puzzled at the moment of the diagnosis for a invisible deficit that they don't know. Parents may withdraw into suffering, unless they are supported, may set apart from others and may centre all their attention on rehabilitation's aspects of deafness.
The risk is that all those aspects became the prevailing thing in the child's life.

| Whith who? |
With a deaf Educationist, who can reassure the child and support his/her interaction with his/her parents or with other children. A deaf Educationist represents a communicative and relational model to hearing parents. With a psychologist who can "listen to" the child, supporting and emphasizing his/her ability and parent's competence.
The psychologist can make it easier the comparison among parents, sharing and signify their anxiety or doubt about their children's future.
