Apps for Kids (and Adults) with Hearing Loss

For individuals who are deaf and/or hard of hearing, apps can provide portable power in a variety of ways such as accessibility, auditory training, advocacy, education and entertainment. This presentation provides an overview of how to leverage touch technology in your daily lives as well as see a few apps in action. We will explore my "Apps for Kids (and Adults) with Hearing Loss" lists for iOS and for Android as well as other resources. Be sure to bring your device!
