Katiamari Roman - how to effectively communicate with hard of hearing

Connecting with the Deaf and Hard of Hearing

ByHOHYPF015936

Katiamari Roman, born deaf, shares her unique perspective on communication challenges and solutions, inviting us to foster a more inclusive dialogue.

Imagine this - a gutsy gal sporting a classic cowboy hat, strumming away an acoustic symphony on her guitar. You'll find her right there, at the heart of it all, in an event organized by us; where every strum draws smiles out of kids who might not hear like we do but feel the vibrations and understand the language of music just fine. She's not just playing some random tunes; no, she's churning out folklore that weaves stories these incredible youngsters connect to on a fundamental level. This is what makes our foundation events so remarkable and very much "us" - unadulterated enthusiasm coupled with solid empathy! Happy faces are proof enough that our passion resonates within each note played at this fantastic gathering — 'cause everyone deserves music, hearing or hard-of-hearing alike.
