September is National Deaf Awareness Month!👂💙
During this month, our goal is to celebrate, learn, and support children who are Deaf or hard of hearing.
Hearing plays a big role in how kids develop speech and language. When a child can’t easily hear sounds, it may be harder for them to:
✨ Learn new words
✨ Understand spoken language
✨ Develop clear speech
With early support, children who are Deaf or hard of hearing can thrive in communication. There are so many ways to support them, whether it is through speech, sign language, hearing technology, or a combination of methods.
As parents and caregivers, the most important thing is to provide connection, access, and encouragement so every child’s voice, spoken or signed, can be heard. 💬🤟
