Issue Date: | 2012 | Source: | Scandinavian journal of disability research | Abstract: | Research into issues of deafness is characterised by the dominance of the medical model of disability. Although social and cultural-linguistic models have received increasing attention from scholars, they have been used mainly in theoretical debate. Empirical application has been limited. Based on our comprehensive research project into the care-related decisions of parents of congenitally deaf children in Flanders, Belgium, an explanatory model for care-related parental decisions was constructed, which transcends the specific findings generated by our studies. This model is presented and discussed in this paper. Illustrations are provided based on our empirical findings. | Keywords: | deafness; decision-making; parents; disability models | Document URI: | http://hdl.handle.net/1942/14349 | ISSN: | 1501-7419 | DOI: | 10.1080/15017419.2012.703966 | Category: | A1 | Type: | Journal Contribution | Validations: | vabb 2014 |
