Raising Teens with Hearing Loss: 2 Moms and 2 Strong Willed Daughters
Two families will share their unique experiences with cochlear implants and their outcomes as early teens. The participants will hear directly from the teens about success in a mainstream school, their challenges with hearing loss and the positive aspects of advocating for themselves. The parents will share their stories how each family utilized resources in order for both girls to be mainstreamed and active in a variety of social and extracurricular activities. The parents will also share about becoming active members in the EHDI programs for Nebraska and Kansas in assisting new parents to navigate the unknown waters of hearing loss. Parents and professionals will learn directly from experienced parents and teens that have overcome obstacles, achieved positive outcomes, and how professionals have impacted their journey through discovery to current outcomes.
