Abstract: |
Martin Dale-Hench, now 24, is a successful adult by most any standard. He is a college graduate (Magna Cum Laude; major: English), a world traveler, multi-lingual, self-supporting, self-confident, and a gentle and kind human being.
Martin was diagnosed as having a profound hearing loss at age one. His parents will discuss the steps they took in Martin's early life to ensure he had every possible advantage for success: academically, socially, and emotionally.
The parents' foci were early language acquisition, a total acceptance of his deafness, reading and writing, and assisting him in building relationships with both deaf and hearing communities. |
