About Me

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.

Inspire to be a doctor

Here is a story of a hearing impaired girl about to graduate from medical school.  She has a cochlear implant and has worked hard to complete her training.
Here is a sample from the article:
Hajjar will graduate this week from the University of Calgary’s School of Medicine, thanks to support from her classmates, staff in the department of medicine, and mostly her unfailing discipline, work ethic and relentless drive to become a doctor.
Humbly, she says much of it comes from the rewards of helping others.
“It still amazes me how grateful my patients are. And working with them, knowing I can help them, it really means a lot to me. That is what drives me.”

Maybe Brooke will become a doctor!  :)
