This paper addresses an issue of emotional support for parents of deaf and hard-of-hearing children provided within the framework of speech-language therapy for the deaf. It consists of 4 parts. The first one discusses what the emotional support is, its meaning and sources in relation to parents of deaf children. The second part includes results of the pilot qualitative studies on ‘What is the emotional support for me?’ and ’When do I feel supported’, conducted with the participation of speech-language therapists. The third part addresses psychological aspects of providing the emotional support for parents of deaf children by speech-language therapists and other specialists. This includes: a) personal relation between therapists and parents, b) roles and principles creating the framework for speech-language therapy and for the support given to parents, c) ‘borders’ in the relationship between speech therapists and parents, d) effective communication with another person, e) not to negate child’s deafness and its consequences as well as parent’s feelings such as helplessness, sadness, anger, f) appropriate use of speechtherapist’s own experience and knowledge. The fourth part presents examples of difficult situations encountered by speechlanguage therapists in speech-language therapy for deaf children and various possibilities of intervention available for speech therapists in relation to parents of deaf children. Summarization includes a conclusion that speech therapists conducting speech-language therapy for deaf and hard-of-hearing children should have an opportunity of psychological education and training with regard to providing an informed and effective emotional support to their parents, who are a crucial element of a successful therapy.
