An Extraordinary Journey from Silence to Sound by Sue Pietersen

When her son, Hughan, was diagnosed profoundly deaf in 1989, information and support were almost impossible to find. Sue’s talk shares a remarkable journey shaped by determination, chance encounters and belief — showing how small daily efforts can change a life. Sue founded Speech for Deaf Children and continues to champion, support and inspire parents of deaf children worldwide.


In her presentation, Sue refers to a Channel 4 Documentary in the Unreported World Series, Patrick Speaks.  Viewers in the UK can see it on YouTube or watch it here:
