Reaching out to the Hearing Impaired

I am receiving a lot of requests for the Point To Communicate booklets for people of all ages who are hearing impaired. The stories of how the booklets are being used by the family member with the one who is hearing impaired are heartbreaking. One woman bought a booklet for her husband. She said he was pretty stubborn at first and didn't want to use it. She, clever woman, began to use the booklet to communicate with him rather then he using it with her. Once he saw how simple and effective it was, he began to use it not just with her but with others too. She called me with tears of gratitude as he had not communicated in three months since his hearing loss. Another family has a hearing impaired child who uses the booklets in the home and at the hospital when undergoing tests. One mom called to purchase another booklet so she would have one in the car to loan to the teacher for her son while he was attending that school. This is exciting to see how the booklets are fulfilling the needs and making a positive impact on people's lives.

  1. As a mother of three hearing impaired children, I feel that this booklet is sensational!! My children find Point to Communicate easy to use and engaging. Our local school loves it as well. This booklet is a one of a kind!! Great job!!
