AG Bell is delighted to announce the release of a Spanish-language version of its website. Designed especially for families of children who are newly diagnosed with hearing loss, the Knowledge Center Spanish-language version provides critical information about hearing loss and the next steps that should be taken to help children with hearing loss to develop listening and spoken language right from the start. The website also guides families to resources for language development to help their child develop to their fullest potential. Families also will gain advice on the legal rights of children with hearing loss as well as educational resources under U.S. federal law to ensure that children receive classroom services and supports that they need.
“The Spanish-language version of the Listening and Spoken Language Knowledge Center serves to fill an informational and resource gap for families of children with hearing loss whose primary language of communication is Spanish," said AG Bell president Donald M. Goldberg, Ph.D., CCC-A/SLP, FAAA, LSLS Cert. AVT.
