Oli pop's journey - hear through play
My intention with this blog is to share our story, it is written from my point of view as a hearing mother of a deaf child. I can’t speak for the feelings that my son has experienced but I can share mine.
My hope is that by sharing our story from my point view, we can become a resource for others. Each journey will look different, each family will choose what will work for them and their circumstances.
This could mean different hearing technologies being used from cochlear implants, hearing aids to bone anchoring hearing devices such as BAHA’s.
This could mean choosing (a) spoken language only approach, (b) sign language approach or a combination of the two.
There is no judgement here, each journey is unique, this is just Oli pop’s journey, one that has included hear through play.
