Every child, no matter where they are in the world or what their hearing skills are, should get a chance to develop speech, communicate effectively, play, laugh and be confident in everything that they aspire to be or do. Receiving the right hearing devices is important if a child has a hearing loss, but what is really instrumental is empowering the families of these children so they can support their children to develop timely speech and language in their warm and loving home environment.
HTWF employee representative Lisa Bacic and her colleague Fanny are both Speech Therapists and they have been meeting weekly during the COVID-19 crisis to adapt a much needed resource for families. They are not done yet but getting closer – step by step! Thank you Lisa and Fanny!
