If your child has recently been diagnosed with hearing challenges, you may be wondering what sort of support is available and are looking to understand nonverbal and alternative communication. This could all seem very daunting, but as Kimberly Lewis shares in this conversation, communication for all is possible. Kimberly was born deaf in her right ear and during her teen years was diagnosed with Meniere’s disease, a disorder that affects the inner ear. Using her own experiences, she discusses how families can access services to support their communication journey. Kimberly also explains the difference between Key Word Sign and Auslan, and provides an insight into how early intervention services can provide children with the confidence and encouragement they require to grow.
