Make a difference is a DVD and brochure that discuss how you can get involved in teaching children who are deaf or hard of hearing to listen and talk for themselves. Today, even the most profoundly deaf children can learn to use spoken language to communicate with their families and communities through a combination of well-educated/prepared teachers and sophisticated listening technologies.

Teach children to speak for themselves.

There’s a new kid in school. Five years ago, with the debut of dreams SPOKEN here, we introduced a group of children and their families as they began their oral deaf education. Now, you can see and hear how oral deaf education has helped these children to succeed in mainstream classrooms with their hearing peers in the film There’s a new kid in school. This film is included in our educator’s kit, along with articles and other resources.
