ee front matter & 2005 upe.2004.12.008 82 6991. ess: peterahindley@tisc Summary Children with early onset, severe to profound deafness are more vulnerable to mental health problems than their hearing peers. The key risk factors are developmental delays associated with early communication deprivation, CNS disorders associated with specific causes of deafness and abuse. Early psychological support to families and a wide range of communication options are crucial components in preventing mental health problems. Clinicians working with deaf children need to be sensitive to their communication needs and if necessary use British Sign Language (BSL) interpreters. Deaf children can benefit from a wide range of mental health interventions provided by generic and specialist services. & 2005 Published by Elsevier Ltd.
