Giving voice to children who are deaf
According to Jennifer Fenn, “Approximately one out of every 1,000 to 2,000 babies is born deaf.” (http://www.ehow.com/facts_5199696_many-people-born-deaf_.html)
Early treatment will help young children develop social skills, hearing aids and cochlear implants are also very helpful for young children to develop their language, intellectual, fine/gross motor skills and emotional skills.
