We’re excited to share that AG Bell has been featured in the latest issue of Exceptional Parent Magazine! This feature highlights our mission to empower children who are deaf or hard of hearing to thrive through Listening and Spoken Language.

All caregivers want to help their child(ren) become successful. There are many ages and stages a child progresses through, adapting and growing into independent adults who are capable of creating the life they want. This ability to create success is rooted in self-determination and self-advocacy skills.

Check out the article to learn more about how you can help your child build self-determination and self-advocacy skills. Read the full feature here: Exceptional Parent Magazine
