17 | Stumped on How to Help Your Deaf Teen Create Better Self- Confidence? These Tips from Teen Guest Hear 2 Connect Will Help

Raising Deaf Kids- Hard of hearing, Hearing Loss, Sign Language, ASL, Listening and Spoken Language, Hearing Impaired

Today's episode is special because I got to chat with Pragalya from Hear 2 Connect.

Pragalya is a teenager who has bilateral sensorineural hearing loss and wears cochlear implants. She works with the organization that she co-founded to support families of Deaf/ hard of hearing kids and to mentor younger deaf kids.

In this episode Pragalya gives parents practical tips about helpful accomodations to ask for in the classroom. She also encourages other deaf/hard of hearing teens to build their self- confidence and learn to advocate for their own needs.
