I'm a mom of 3 littles, two of whom are Deaf, and I'm a language teacher who specializes in helping families navigate early childhood hearing loss through play-based strategies. Each week, I'm tackling your biggest questions about helping children with hearing loss develop language skills and giving you practical play-based strategies that work in real family life. So reheat your cold coffee, step away from the comparison trap, and let's dive into the fun side of language learning!
