14 | How to Successfully Advocate for Your Deaf Child with Hearo Harrison and Summer Greenham

On the podcast today I have the absolute pleasure to chat with Hearo Harrison and his mom, Summer Greenham!

 

Harrison is eight years old and was born profoundly deaf, at the age of 18 months he underwent cochlear implant surgery. Harrisons is bilingual using a combination of signed and spoken language. Harrison dreams of becoming either an audiologist or YouTuber when he’s older and he believes being deaf is something quite special!

 

In this episode, Summer and I talk about how to advocate for our deaf/ hard of hearing kids as parents, as well as how to start teaching our kids to build their own self-advocacy skills. We also dive into school services and accomodations for elementary school.
