The Mystery-Solver

A joyful graduate with a disability in a purple and gold graduation cap and gown, smiling outdoors with a scenic, hilly background.

“I love the critical problem-solving and strategic thinking required to practice law,” she says. “I also enjoy the exciting variability of the workflow, as no two days seem to be the same. Additionally, my goal is to help individuals solve some of the most difficult situations in their lives.”

Reentering Society During the Pandemic

When the pandemic hit, Sydney Cooper* lost her independence. The cochlear implant recipient also lost her job because her company assumed she couldn’t communicate when others were masked. They wouldn’t even discuss any accommodations with her.

A Moment of Serendipity

If you think you’ve ever been stressed out by a job application, consider Nick Stone. Nick, who’s hard of hearing, faced a dilemma when filling out applications that few people realize exists, and even fewer understand.

Learning Through Play: A Summer Toy Guide

A collage of children's educational materials: a book cover about hearing, a cartoon of a girl, a drawing kit, and a child playing with colorful suction toys designed for disability awareness.

Summer play has perhaps never been more needed than in 2021. In a recent study, 100% of parents reported the pandemic limited timely access to health care services for their children with cochlear implants, and 96% agreed remote learning was challenging.

From Self-Advocacy to Professional Arguing

Anat Maytal says she’s not surprised that she picked a profession where she is allowed to argue for a living. She’s been arguing and advocating for herself her entire life.

AG Bell’s Summer Interns

This summer, AG Bell welcomed 12 interns to its virtual office to help out in a number of capacities. Interns are a critical part of the AG Bell staff and bring a wide breadth of knowledge and skills to the organization.

Remembering Ann Lovett

As a teacher, Ann Lovett did more than just teach the students in front of her. She helped teach their families, too.
