Your Family Can Do It Your Way

      • Your first language is his first language
      • You know what to say
      • You know how to play

It is what families do naturally. 

Family life and culture and the way you communicate and have fun as a family is what children thrive on…..and your deaf child is just the same.

 

Deaf Children Can Because There Is The Technology

    • They get it early
    • It can be accurately set up
    • Families gets good at managing and maintaining it optimally
    • Your child can access speech and language through it
    • Families naturally know what to say and when to say it, making the most of opportunities in daily routines, play and activities with friends and families
    • They can use it all the time at school, home and out and about.
    • And because of this, your child has access to the language of his friends and family and can actively take part and achieve whatever s/he would have done if s/he wasn’t deaf.
