I write books for deaf and hard of hearing children (and their typically hearing friends), inspired by my own profoundly deaf daughter and her typically hearing twin sister. I am an advocate for maintaining high expectations for deaf and hard of hearing children, whether they communicate with spoken language, sign language or both, and for parent-centric strategies to support children reaching for their own personal goals and achieving their dreams, wherever and whatever those dreams may be. I founded AVID Language to publish inclusive books for children with (and without) hearing loss, written by a range of authors representing different communication approaches, because I understand and respect that there is no "one-size-fits-all" when it comes to supporting deaf and hard of hearing children (or any children for that matter) to reach and exceed their potential.I am a Parent Ambassador for Auditory Verbal UK, an aspirational organisation that teaches deaf children how to listen as the foundation for learning to speak, and supports families to integrate AV strategies into their everyday life to achieve the best outcomes possible for their children.
