Meet Corinne, a Pediatric Audiologist who uses a hearing aid and a cochlear implant.
Corinne shares about how hard her parents, but especially her mother, had to advocate for Corinne to have access to Listening and Spoken Language.
She also shares her experience of choosing to be implanted with a Cochlear Implant as an adult.
Cued Speech was a HUGE tool in helping Corinne along her journey.
Cued Speech is a method of communication in which the mouth movements of speech are combined with a system of hand movements to facilitate understanding and use by people who are deaf or hard of hearing.
Cued Speech has been very effective in helping deaf children learn to read. Yet 57% of parents with newly diagnosed infants don’t receive adequate information about Cued Speech.
