I love sharing about Jesus and the company he kept with my students. He loved people like you and me and spent much of his time with people that had a disability. We read a story about Jesus healing a boy that was deaf and how excited he and his friends were when he heard for the first time.
We talked about resources available to those impaired by hearing loss such as TTY's, Relay, texting, flashing lights, lip reading, speech therapy, and sign language. The kids are growing up in an age where there are so many resources available and some of those resources all of us are using.
We also talked about our grandparents and how we can be supportive if they are experiencing hearing loss. The kids even came up with some ideas on their own to aid in communication.
