Today on the show Marine wife and mother, Valli Gideons. Valli Gideons is the author of the children’s book, Now Hear This and writer at MyBattleCall.com and parent to two deaf teenagers. Valli spends her time writing about navigating through the fog of raising kids with cochlear implants and other things from the heart.

We chat about her diagnosis story and experience as a hearing parent to deaf kids, the home dynamics of raising children with cochlear implants, and she offers me (Andy) advise on how to emotional engage language as a parent to a child who is not deaf, but on a lifelong journey to overcoming her speech delay.
