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.

try a whisper

If Brooke seems to be "tuning me out" during one of our lessons or while listening to a book as I read, I try whispering the same thing. The change in my tone and volume usually attracts her attention and helps to refocus her listening.
