Raising My Son Who Became Deaf
Sylvia and Louisa discussed the importance of accessibility for the deaf community, with Louisa sharing her personal experiences as a black parent of her son who became deaf following illness. She shares some of the challenges she faced in navigating the healthcare system. They also discussed her son's educational journey and his later career prospects. Louisa's son Ashton is an inspiring story, as he has not let his hearing impairment hold him back, and has received a tremendous amount in his life. The conversation also touched on the challenges of communication with the deaf community, the importance of parental research and advocacy, and the need to better represent the disabled community in various fields.
