Abstract
In our societies, in which verbal communication forms the basis of our everyday social interactions, several researchers suggest that deaf youth are more likely to live intense negative emotions and to face situations of social marginalization (Foster, 1998 ; Roots, 1999). Indeed, on the one hand these deaf adolescents encounter more communication difficulties in their family, social and school environment than hearing youth, and on the other hand some report feeling socially excluded (Piché et Hubert, 2006). These results indicate, in part, the importance of interventions aiming at the development of communication skills in parents of deaf children.
