Susie, SLP, AVT and mom of a child who's deaf

Listen as Susie shares so much wisdom after being on this journey for 27 years. Susie’s third child was born deaf in 1994, and was implanted with a cochlear implant during the FDA trial period for children.

He is now a thriving 27 year old.

Susie’s desire to learn as much as she could to help her child develop spoken language led her on a path to get her masters in speech therapy and her Auditory Verbal Therapy Certificate.

Listen as Susie shares so many pearls of wisdom. My favorite is, “This is a journey and you have the tools within you to help your child. “

Susie shares that they used cued speech. If you aren’t familiar with cued speech you can find more at https://cuedspeech.org/
