Campamento de muñecas American Girl

Day 1- In this lesson we will read and watch a few video clips about Joss Kendrick, the first American Girl doll with a hearing impairment. We will discuss how she deals with her hearing loss.  She is an avid surfer who happens to have a hearing impairment. In the story she uses some ASL, but mostly uses hearing aides and reads lips to help her hear to better hear and commicate. This lesson is about inclusion and how a hearing impairment impacts one's life. In the story, Joss has congenital hearing loss. She was born deaf (no hearing) in her left ear, but can hear some with her right ear thanks to a hearing aid. “Partially deaf” therefore is the best description for her hearing loss.
Hearing loss is very different for each individual, but the goal of the lesson is to provide a realistic scenario that could resonate with a wide range of girls with different hearing loss profiles.
