About Me

My photo
I am just a mom: a mom of three kids and one of them is hearing impaired. We are a busy family and I am a very busy mom. I want my hearing impaired daughter, Brooke, to have every advantage so I try to incorporate as many lessons and strategies into our every day life. Most of the teaching I do with Brooke is incorporated into our daily routines and parent-directed play. This blog will include some of our formal lessons but mostly it will be learning to listen in the everyday.

Funny Voices

Here is an easy auditory activity to play with your child:

Talk to your child and let her talk back to you in different intensities of voice: softer, louder and with different intonations.

Just use common everyday phrases:
1. "Would you like some orange juice with your waffle?" spoken in a whisper
2. "Look at the beautiful white blossoms on the tree near the car" spoken like you are singing
3. "Don't forget your backpack." spoken like an opera star

This is so much fun and your child will have fun listening. Encourage her to say some things really loud or with funny intonations.

A great travel time activity that promotes learning in the everyday!
