Dear Kiki,
Thank you so much for the gift of your informative and supportive book for the hearing impaired! I loved the suggestions of how to assist the hearing impaired by looking at them when speaking for lip reading, slowing your speech rate and the specific sounds which are the most challenging to hear. The entire class contributed to improving his learning, the children played games to learn empathy and the importance of having understanding friends. Your illustrations are child friendly and the alternating print colors help track. Including the names of technological advances such as the cochlear implant, and the specialists who are important for treatment. It’s a wonderful book, Kiki! I am giving my copy to our school district audiologists as she frequently goes into classrooms to explain hearing impairments to students.

Sincerely,

Barbara Bardin, Speech Language Pathologist
