In the first hour of "Connections with Evan Dawson" on Jan. 24, 2025, guest host Sarah Abbamonte and local educators discuss new technology to assist parents of Deaf children with learning ASL.

Esther Adán – National Campaign for collecting hearing aids for deaf children...with TRE's Hannah Murray

Kieran's guest has been calling for changes to the requirements for ISL interpreters in schools. Her two children Pippa and Jack are profoundly deaf and she worries they will fall behind if they don't get sufficient support... Kieran is joined by Emma Dooley O'Gorman to discuss.

You can read a transcript for this episode here.Think back to your favorite childhood TV show—was it “Blue's Clues”? “Little Bear”? “Winnie the Pooh”? Animated TV shows are important for kids because they can teach them to read, draw, spell, and talk. Plus, the ways these shows tell stories and create colorful, fictitious worlds can broaden children's knowledge and capacity to imagine.But children's shows aren't accessible to all deaf children, which means they could miss out on a common learning experience. Among other things, that can set kids back in learning both American Sign Language (ASL) and English language skills during their formative early childhood years.Melissa Malzkuhn is third-generation Deaf and the founder and director of the Motion Light Lab at Gallaudet University in Washington, D.C. Her lab is creating ASL-focused children's media that is made by and for the Deaf community, using motion capture technology, avatars, animation, and signing storytellers. She talks with Science Friday guest host Arielle Duhaime-Ross about ASL access in childhood, the science of learning, and how she's creating “Here Comes Mavo!”—the first animated TV series with signing characters.Many thanks to Jennifer Vold for interpreting and to Jenna Beacom for consulting on this segment.Editor's note: Regarding capitalization for “Deaf” and “deaf,” we believe this is an unsettled issue. For about 30 years, it was common to use capitalization to denote cultural deafness. In recent years, some national deaf organizations, like the National Deaf Center, have decided to use lowercase in their messaging to be more inclusive. Some individuals, however, prefer the capitalized version. We ask our guests to self-describe and capitalize at their request, and use “deaf” for non-self-describing communities.Universe of Art is hosted and produced by D. Peterschmidt, who also wrote the music. The original segment was produced by Rasha Aridi. Our show art was illustrated by Abelle Hayford.

85% of deaf children attend mainstream public schools and many deaf advocates will say this is a good thing, but good intentions and good educational practices are two different things.

Lisa is joined by another very very special guest, Gabriel (Gabe) Lomas, to cover a topic that has never been addressed on this podcast (...and very rarely at a play therapy conference) …  Understanding and working with deaf children in the playroom.  Gabe is a professor and Program Director of Counseling Programs at Gallaudet University in Washington, DC. He's been an RPT-S for many years and is the immediate past president of the New York branch of the Association for Play Therapy. Gabriel has performed assessment and treatment in over 2000 child welfare cases, including hundreds involving deaf children or deaf parents. He is the co-editor of the book “Deaf People in the Criminal Justice System: Selected Topics on Advocacy, Incarceration and Social Justice.” As well as many journal articles and book chapters in the field of counseling and psychology. He is a popular expert witness in courts across the nation where he consults on issues related to assessment and deaf people. Amazing! Here's what you can expect in this podcast episode:  What we need to understand about children who are deaf and how these children can be easily misunderstood; Some of the challenges that arise for children as a result of being deaf including impact in the parent-child relationship and on emotional development; How deaf children deserve to be spoke to in a language that makes sense to them; How play therapy can build a bridge for greater understanding of children who are deaf including understanding perceptions of themselves and their world;  How to join the world of a deaf child in a play therapy session and offer the child a felt sense of being understood and seen; and What we can be aware of in terms of advocating for children who are deaf to be heard and get the support and services that they need.  Listen to this beautiful episode that will give a sense of what the world is like for a child who is deaf and how we can more fully support and advocate in our role as therapists, parents, educators, etc.; hear several case examples from Gabriel's own life experiences working as a play therapist and in child welfare; and stay tuned to the end to find out what Gabriel thinks are the superpowers of children who are deaf.

More than 90 percent of deaf children in the U.S. are born to hearing parents. For them, the path forward can be difficult and also controversial. The advent of cochlear implant technology has the opportunity to change lives, yet many deaf advocates say not teaching sign language is a risky proposition.

Host Jeremy C. Park talks with Andrea Baird, Executive Director of Memphis Oral School for the Deaf, who highlights the nonprofit organization's mission and efforts to empower deaf children to listen, learn, and talk. Based in Germantown, Tennessee, MOSD has been serving families from all over the Mid-South and beyond since 1959. At MOSD, no sign language is used. Through early intervention and diagnosis, speech and language therapies, and advanced technologies and audiological services, deaf children can develop necessary listening and spoken language skills to become a part of, rather than apart from, a world of sound.During the interview, Andrea talks about their different programs, their impact on the children and families, the specialization of their team, their collaborative approach and reach across the Mid-South, and how the community can support their efforts, including their upcoming 12th Annual Speakeasy being hosted at The Great Hall & Conference Center on April 29, 2023.Visit www.mosdkids.org to learn more.

Show Notes: This is the second half of my recent conversation with Felicia Aquilo, the mother of two young boys who were born profoundly deaf. She and her husband, Steve, have faced the challenge of giving their boys the gift of sound; equipping them with cochlear implants, teaching them to speak as well as sign language, and helping them appreciate music and other sounds. Join us as we hear from Felicia about her journey, her sons' progress, and her very real hopes for their futures. This is part 2 of Felicia's story. Be sure to catch the first part in Episode #48! In part 1, Felicia shared her “facts” for the game of “2 Truths and a Lie.” Can you guess which statements Felicia shared were her truths and which was her lie? Post your best guess in the comments below. We'll post the correct answer on Instagram @water.prairie next week so be sure to check and see if you were right. 2 Truths and a Lie: Felicia loves cooking and wanted to be on Master Chef Felicia enjoys training and running marathons Felicia's known how to snow ski since she was 2-years-old Follow Felicia on Instagram: @feliciaaquila Hands and Voices, a resource for families of deaf children: Instagram: @handsandvoices Website: www.handsandvoices.org Connect with Us: https://linktr.ee/waterprairie Support this channel: https://www.buymeacoffee.com/waterprairie Music Used: “LazyDay” by Audionautix is licensed under a Creative Commons Attribution 4.0 license. https://creativecommons.org/licenses/by/4.0/ Artist: http://audionautix.com/

Show Notes: If you've been following the podcast, you met Cindy and Heather Phillips in episode #36, and we'll continue their interview in episode #38. If you're new to the podcast, welcome! I wanted to share a story about what happened after I interviewed Cindy and Heather. I don't want to give away the rest of their story, but Heather shared something during the 2nd half of the interview that made me think more about how I communicate with people who are deaf or hard of hearing that I meet. The day after the interview, I was at work and had a customer indicate to me that he was deaf. He had a question, and between us we were able to figure out the question and the answer by using hand gestures and facial expressions. I walked away knowing I had not been able to give him the same service as I could have given someone who could hear me. During this short podcast episode, I explain how this combination of events has already helped others communicate, and I hope it inspires you to find ways to communicate with those whose path you cross. The app I mentioned in the podcast is the LIVE TRANSCRIBE app and is only for Android phones.

“Our vision is a world without barriers for every deaf child... Our job as an organisation is to challenge the culture of low expectations (for deaf children)” There are over 50,000 deaf children in the UK and more than 34 million deaf children worldwide. It is important to encourage them – and their families – to dream big. Susan Daniels is the CEO of the National Deaf Children's Society, the UK's largest charity for deaf children. The organisation raises awareness and provides expert support to families on childhood deafness, and campaigns for deaf children's rights, so they have the same opportunities as everyone else. As someone who sees herself as a leader, who just happens to be deaf, Susan is steadfast in her belief that a deaf child can do and achieve anything that a child with hearing can. What holds deaf and disabled children back are the inherent structures and expectations in society and education systems. Getting rid of such social, educational and cultural barriers is the first step towards meaningful equality. We explore the ACEVO report, “Hidden Leaders: Disability Leadership in Civil Society”; and Susan shares her views on what leaders and organisations in civil society and beyond, need to consider in order to be truly disability-inclusive. Susan also reflects on her own leadership journey. Over 28 years, Susan has overseen the National Deaf Children's Society growing from £1m to £24m annual income, influencing policy-makers and delivering real change for deaf children. Her advice to leaders is to always focus on the Big Picture, choose your battles and when in doubt or stuck, ask others for help. Recorded February 2021.

No Limits for Deaf Children (0:00:00) About 15% of children and teens in the United States live with hearing loss. Because of its prevalence in our communities, deaf and hearing loss awareness has increased exponentially over the past several decades. But that doesn't change the fact that school, sports, and extracurricular activities are designed for those with certain hearing abilities. And many kids with hearing loss find themselves left out resulting in lower self-esteem. Fortunately, No Limits for Deaf Children, a nonprofit organization based out of California, is helping hard-of-hearing and deaf children gain confidence and communication skills. Joining us today is their founder, Dr. Michelle Christie, to talk about their programs and the everyday experiences of deaf children.   Alzheimer's Disease (0:21:41) There are almost 50 million people worldwide suffering with Alzheimer's disease. About ten percent of that number comes from the US, with 5.5 million cases. According to the Alzheimer's Association, that number might triple in the next 30 years if we don't find a cure or method to slow down the process. With numbers like these, it's very likely you know someone with this disease or someone who is prone to it. Today, we have the Executive Director of the Utah Chapter of the Alzheimer's Association, Ronnie Daniel. He is here to tell us all about Alzheimer's disease, early signs, and research.   Bread Making at Home (0:36:33) Of all of the crazy, lazy or productive things we've done in the last two months, I personally don't think you can qualify yourself as a proper “quarantiner” if you haven't tried your hand at homemade bread. Now whether you're an experienced baker or not, we can all learn something from today's guest, Peter Reinhart. Peter is an internationally renowned expert on baking, one the most popular artisan bread teachers in the country, and current Chef on Assignment at Johnson & Wales University. And he's here to teach us everything we need to know about bread making at home.   Real Leadership (0:50:40) Have you ever been under the leadership of someone who wasn't a good leader? It's not the best experience. You may find yourself micro-managed, unappreciated, or used and abused. But I think the great thing about having bad leaders is that they teach us what not to do and inspire us to be better leaders if one day we find ourselves in a similar position. But we have to start getting ready now for when that day comes. Our next guest, Al Christy, argues that real leadership needs preparation. Al was recommended to us by his daughter-in-law who emailed us at thelisashow@byu.edu, and he joins us on the show to discuss how to be a good leader. Al has held multiple leadership responsibilities throughout his life and has helped his kids and grandkids learn leadership skills.   Thriving Through the Unexpected (1:05:40) I think many of us have hit the point where we're just living in survival mode. We're just trying to make it through one day, even one hour at a time: OK, wake up, eat, school, exercise, make dinner. Whatever your routine is these days, it probably feels like you're dragging your feet one step at a time. But I think it's time we pull ourselves out of our repetitive slump. Our next guest has some great tips for thriving, not just surviving, during this unprecedented time. Ganel-Lyn Condie is a friend of the show and motivational speaker, and we're happy to have her with us today to discuss this important topic.   National Teacher Day (1:25:27) Today is National Teacher Day, and we want to give a big shout out to our teachers, because they've had to adapt big time with schools moving online across the nation. Thankfully, many of them care a lot about their students and have responded to these changes with creativity. I'm not the only one impressed by how our teachers have managed online schooling.  A new national poll found that over eighty percent of parents approve of how their children's teachers are handling the coronavirus pandemic. So, we want to show our appreciation to our teachers, and to help us come up with some ideas to do that we have Becky Pringle with us on the show.  She's the Vice President of the National Education Association.

Michelle Christie talks about her organization, Ronnie Daniel discusses supporting Alzheimer's research, Peter Reinhart gives breadmaking tips, Al Christy teaches leaderships skills, Ganel-Lyn Condie explains how to thrive, Becky Pringle talks about appreciating teachers.

I was sitting in on an ADOS-2 a few months ago with a nonverbal little guy. He used a fair amount of sign language, which got me thinking: do the pragmatic communication problems associated with autism happen in nonverbal or deaf children? After a little Google searching, I found Dr. Aaron Shield, a linguist out of Miami University, who has ...

Welcome friends, On tonight's episode of Advocate like a Mother Podcast, Michelle and I got together to chat with the Rachel Coleman. Rachel is an American producer and actress who is known for creating with her sister Emilie de Azevedo Brown, they created together the Signing Time! It's a video series to teach children basic American Sign Language (ASL), which was broadcasted on public television and Nick Junior. She produces, directs, and stars in the series. On top of handling much of its operations as co-founder of Two Little Hands Productions, she is also executive director of the American Society for Deaf Children. We sat around Michelle's kitchen table with Rachel. We had the best conversation discussing American Sign Language, and Singing Time! We talked about the diagnoses process of her sweet girls Leah and Lucy, which she learned always trust your mom gut. What an inspiration she is in the ASL & special needs community. She changed her entire focus from her musical background to something that was not only life changing for her daughters, but for so many other families. She has made such an impact helping teach others how to communicate. We love that this is a family production, it shows what such a product of love she created. Sometimes after you have kids that's when you truly find your place in this world. Diagnoses are so hard, from the phone call, the stress, and the pressure but when you look over at that shinning light, and see their little souls telling you, “I'm fine guys, nothing is wrong here. Don't be sad.” Us parents maybe need to learn some new things, and that's not bad! To any parent struggling with a child that is deaf, you are not alone. We are here to help encourage you, and to help find your community.

I grew up with a deaf sibling - but didn't realise how much this influenced me until I went to university to study psychology. My undergraduate degrees had a strong emphasis on child development and psycholinguistics. I also studied NZSL. This lead to a student job as a teacher aide for Deaf children, and after graduation, as a researcher in universities in New Zealand and abroad. At the Deafness, Cognition and Language Research Centre, I ran the UK stream of an international study on Theory of Mind development in deaf toddlers."

Given reasonable accommodations, kids who are deaf, hard of hearing, and/or on the autism spectrum can succeed beautifully in mainstream classrooms. When those accommodations are handled in a respectful, "no big deal" way, kids are more likely to feel the warmth of inclusion from teachers and peers. That's going to greatly benefit the children with special needs as well as their classmates. Annie talks with school psychologist Louise Masin Sattler about inclusive classrooms and how to get there with practical back-to-school tips for parents and teachers. About Louise Masin Sattler Louise Sattler, NCSP (Nationally Certified School Psychologist) is a nationally respected educational consultant who melds her passion for ASL (American Sign Language), special education, disaster preparedness, and social media.

A recording of a public talk by Dr Mike Mantin. Part of our Disability History Festival for the IPC Athletics European Championships in Swansea. Although the popular image of Victorian and Edwardian special education was one of drab, indoor learning routines, there was also an important role for leisure, play and sport. This talk will explore its history using records from the Chailey Heritage School in Sussex and the Cambrian Institution for the Deaf and Dumb in Swansea. Sports days for disabled children, the supposed ‘pure’ healing powers of outdoor play and fears of flirtation at Deaf athletics meetings will all be uncovered.
