Mom Advocates for her Deaf Son

Показать описание
What technologies can be used to help a Deaf child navigate our world? Inclusion and accessibility advocate Beth Leipholtz describes the tools she uses to support her son Cooper. Her first example is a cheat sheet explaining how to troubleshoot cochlear implant technology, which she ensures his caregivers always have access to. Second, she is raising him to understand both ASL and spoken English so that he still has access to language without his cochlear implants. Lastly, she has taught him to express his needs and advocate for himself!
Beth Leipholtz is an inclusion and accessibility advocate who believes in creating a more accepting world for our children. As the hearing mother of a deaf child, Beth is raising her son, Cooper, bilingually in both hearing and Deaf cultures. She shares her parenting journey on TikTok, YouTube, Facebook and Instagram, where she has built a community of more than 1.5 million people around disability inclusion.
