Abstract

This chapter prepares pre-service teachers to work with immigrant families with Deaf and hard of hearing (DHH) children. Immigrant families are families with children with at least one immigrant caregiver who resides in the United States and is not a U.S. citizen at birth. The chapter highlights a case study showing the unique experience of this vastly growing population of families in the US as they navigate engaging in the education of their DHH children. The chapter also focuses on theories and practices in preparing preservice teachers to work with immigrant families with DHH children. Family engagement often glances over in teacher preparation programs, but this is a detriment since family engagement is a predictor of school success.
