Happy #InternationalCochlearImplantDay! Over 1 million #cochlearimplants have helped people hear since Professor Graeme Clark invented the multichannel cochlear implant in 1978. Bryn & Scott (pictured) were the 1st children to receive multi-channel cochlear implants 37 years ago!

Children with hearing loss whose families provide exposure to language that is rich in quantity & quality--whether English, Spanish, ASL or another--are more likely to develop age-appropriate language and reach literacy milestones. The Power of Parents! https://t.co/FAhiK0vC19

I went to the Avalon Apple Store to purchase an iPad. I was assigned to an associate named Darren.

Darren is blind.

The experience was amazing. It was difficult to focus on what I was there for because of how impressed I was with Darren’s ability to help me choose the best version of a product he has never seen. He was remarkable.

Thank you, Apple.
Thank you, Darren.

“This is my friend's 17 year old nephew, Tanner. Yesterday he was enjoying a day at Scissortail Park with his mother and younger siblings when he noticed a person struggling in the pond. Tanner's mom said he did a quick double take then without a word he was running toward the water. She had no idea what was happening but Tanner knew someone needed him. His instincts took over and this guy saved a drowning 2 year old!!! He suffered a head injury in the process and had to have staples. Police, fire and medics responded and the child's mother cried uncontrollably with gratitude. Tanner is humble, compassionate and really does not understand how much heartbreak his actions have saved a family.”
