Critics Review
“I just finished reading ‘Voices Of Hope’, by Estelle Gerrett and the latest amazing resource to be published by AVID Language.
The title of the book says it all - across thirteen wonderfully collated personal stories, Estelle - an Auditory Verbal Therapist - has provided a platform for some amazing parents who are striving to help their deaf children listen and speak, and proves that there’s always HOPE!
Some of the stories brought a tear to my eye and are true testaments to the power of parents. And what about those children? How they’ve overcome such traumatic starts to life, yet have gone on to absolutely thrive!
Every parent of a deaf child will be inspired by this book: tales of perseverance, of determination and stories of wonderful lives being lived! Thanks for putting this wonderful book together!”
Stuart McNaughton, The Cochlear Implant Coach
“Many people still have low expectations of what deaf children can achieve and many do not know that a profoundly deaf child can learn to talk as well as a hearing child. The stories in this book show what is possible and why we can and should have much higher expectations for deaf children and young people around the world.”
Anita Grover, CEO, Auditory Verbal UK
“I’m already enjoying the book. As an adult CI recipient, it’s really helpful to me to better understand the journey that parents and kids go through.”
Robert Mandara, President, European Association of Cochlear Implant Users (EuroCIU)
”…a book that talks of passion, determination, and raw courage.”
Anna Ackerman, former CEO, The Hearing House
