A New Friend

Use the statements and questions below to start having a conversation about Audism:

What is the communication barrier?

Who can you talk to about your fear or struggle at home and how to overcome it?

How do you think you will feel once you have faced your language barrier and overcome it?


What was a situation where you felt scared and are now brave?


Facing Audism

No one should have to go through what I went through. If you know of someone who is going through these types of experiences, ask them to have professional help and get the state/provinces involved for one’s protection and those of children.
