Have you heard of Christmas in July? This group is planning now for Christmas for hearing impaired children.


A sign outside a bank in my town encourages people to sign up now for the Christmas Club. The last payment will be on them. Other folks start to put toy in layaway as soon as the back-to-school shopping is completed. Here is a group in Tulsa., Oklahoma planning now to make Christmas merry for children in their area who are deaf.

  • WHO Total Source for Hearing Loss and Accesswww.tsha.cc
  • WHAT Holiday Party for Deaf children and their families - Santa and Mrs. Claus are Deaf!
  • WHERE TSHA - Tulsa, OK
  • WHEN First weekend of December every year
  • WHY It is so important for children with hearing loss to be able to enjoy childhood experiences such as asking Santa for things at Christmas time.

What are other ways you can boost language and vocabulary during the holidays? What about promoting speech and language skills during holidays other than Christmas (Fourth of July, Thanksgiving, or Halloween)? Kids love those special times of the year. Parents and teachers want to make the most of those natural language prompts.
