Next up on our #NEC12DaysofChristmas, we look at the impact a user-centred approach can have on valuable services. Partnering National Deaf Kids Society, we’re using our expertise in user-centred research and design to work together in creating a new website that support the charity's mission to break down barriers for every deaf child. https://ow.ly/ShYe50Utc1O

Most people don't know even know a deaf person, let alone anything about being deaf, or Deaf culture. Because of that, there's also a lack of resources. American Society for Deaf Children (ASDC) provides our family with a lot of needed resources, so I'm raising awareness and funds for them to give back/pay it forward to other families. As part of my campaign during Deaf Awareness Month, I'm sharing a post everyday. Here is yesterday's post with my daughter teaching some basic ASL. You can read our story or donate here: https://lnkd.in/e-Z8zU8x You can also help by following me, engaging with my posts, and sharing. Links to where I'm posting everyday are in the first comment. #CodyRunsForASDC #ElliesCrew #ASDCLanguageMatters #LanguageAccessibilty #MarathonTraining #ASL #running #marshallmarathon #deafawarenessmonth

Did you know that despite NDIS funding, there remains a gap in covering the full costs of providing specialist care for children who are deaf? To bridge this gap and ensure every child can learn to listen and speak, we rely on generous donations. 🙏 With more children being diagnosed with hearing loss every year, the need for support is greater than ever. Our 24-hour Giving Day on Wednesday, 28 August 2024, is a critical opportunity to make a difference. Thanks to the generosity of our partners, all donations made on Giving Day will be doubled, up to $105,000. This means your contribution will go twice as far in helping children like 1-year-old Louie, who is improving his listening and speech skills with tools like the Learn to Listen sounds. In the lead-up to Giving Day, we'll be sharing insights from our clinicians on some of these sounds. We encourage parents and guardians to try them out—it's a fun and effective way to support your child's spoken language development. Let’s kick off this campaign with the ‘Roar’ sound, just like a lion! 🦁 Stay tuned for more updates on the Learn to Listen sounds as we count down to Giving Day. For those eager to roar into action early, you can donate here: https://lnkd.in/gZHQwuNe All donations in the lead up to Giving Day will also be matched. #GivingDay2024 #TSCGivingDay #TheShepherdCentre #HearingLoss #AmplifyPossibility

Musicians are almost four times as likely to develop noise induced hearing loss as the general public. It is also the only fully preventable cause of hearing loss, which is why having high quality ear protection is so important. Hearing loss has significant negative impacts on a person’s life, such as social withdrawal due to difficulties communicating with others, emotional distress caused by a drop in self-esteem and confidence, and for musicians it can mean an inability to make music, for some that may even mean losing their career and source of income. When you give $10 a month you fund an audiology exam with a professional audiologist and a pair of custom earplugs. Your donation will ensure we can continue to provide access to life-changing hearing care and a whole array of healthcare services for our local musicians. Our goal is to raise $14,000 before the end of the day on April 12th. Can you pitch in $10 a month to help us reach our goal? https://lnkd.in/g69sqD5Y
