You see, more than 90% of deaf or hard of hearing children are born to hearing parents who have LITTLE or NO experience with hearing loss. For some parents, their deaf child may be the first deaf person they have ever met.
So many parents complain that following diagnosis, they are presented with a 'showbag' full of dry medical terminology and are sent home to deal with' the future. Many complain that in the blink of an eye, all the hopes and dreams they have held for that child disappear.
There are so many questions to answer. Will my child ever lead a normal life?', Will my child attend a mainstream school?', What kind of school would be most suitable for my child's needs?', Will my child have friends?', What language is best for my child sign language or speech?', Will they be able to drive?', Will they get a good job?' Will they get married?'Click Here To Grab Your Copy
Instead of support, many parents are greeted with a mass of confusing and contradictory information by professionals who are pushing different agendas. Some are saying, Teach your child sign language. They need visual communication' while others are saying, Teach your child to speak. Signing will hinder their language development!' No wonder they think they are going mad
Bringing up a child who is hearing is a challenging enough. But raising a deaf child can seem completely overwhelming. However, if you are feeling afraid, uncertain, and worried about the future, then please relax. You're not alone.
If you have ever asked yourself "Will my child be able to lead a normal life?", the good news is, "Yes, they can!"
I want to tell you about my new e-book called Breaking the Sound Barriers: 9 deaf success stories.

Each interview captures the struggles and successes as they explore what helped and what hindered them in their journey with hearing loss.
