Early Assistance: Hearing Loss
"As we get books into more Lao villages, we've found that many people never knew books could help them with situations such as this. But now that they know, they're eager for more book."
Hearing loss creates great challenges for anyone, anywhere. For a child in a rural village of Laos, whose family may have no access to any outside resources, it can mean becoming cut off from the world.
This Lao adaptation of the excellent book from the Hesperian Foundation guides the family through such questions as Why is hearing important? How do you check a young child's hearing? What causes deafness? What can you do about it? How can you provide education for a deaf child?
Sign language symbols have been adapted to Lao.
