Are you familiar with the Alexander Graham Bell Association? AGB offers some unique opportunities for children with hearing loss. https://www.guidestar.org/profile/53-0196644 Check out their website. Would your son be interested in participating in a leadership training program? The AGB LOFT program is a camp experience.

Mutual help can be very positive. These kids need the opportunity to meet one another so they can discuss their experiences and realize they are not alone.

Here is a quote from the AGB website: " Every year in the United States, more than 12,000 babies are born with hearing loss, making it the most prevalent sensory defect. More than 90% are born to parents who can hear. With hearing technology such as hearing aids and cochlear implants, nearly all of them can learn to listen, the first step in developing spoken language and literacy. With support, children with hearing loss can learn alongside peers with typical hearing and achieve an independent, self-reliant life. "
