Episode #38: Hearing Loss and Deafness in Children (Part 2)

Show Notes:

Parents of deaf and hard of hearing children have concerns about their children’s safety both when they are young and when they’re older. Cindy and Heather Phillips join us again in this episode to talk about life after high school. They both share advice for deaf students, parents of deaf children, and teachers who work with deaf students.

If you missed the first part of the interview, be sure to go back to Episode #36 () and learn about Heather’s diagnosis, the early years of parenting a deaf child, and how Heather navigated school challenges.

Be sure to check out some of the links below. I’ve included a great resource for parents and students who are looking at college or are already college students, and I’d like to thank Intelligent for providing us with the link to this resource for deaf students! There is also a link to an organization Cindy recommends for parents of deaf and hard-of-hearing children.

Contact Cindy and Heather through Facebook or send them an email at info@waterprairie.com, and I’ll forward it to them. Cindy’s Facebook: https://www.facebook.com/cindy.brownphillips.7 Heather’s Facebook: https://www.facebook.com/heather.phillips.35325
