Communicating with My Deaf Son
from All Brains Grow · host Louloua Smadi El Hajj
When my son wasn't talking yet, I felt lost. As a neurotherapist, I thought I had the tools — but nothing was working. I didn’t know yet that he was deaf, and every day felt like a guessing game. In this episode, I share the raw, honest journey of trying to connect with him before we had answers. If you're in that uncertain communication space — waiting for a diagnosis, wondering what’s “wrong,” or feeling like your child just can’t or won’t communicate — this episode is for you. I’ll walk you through the shift I made that changed everything: from waiting and worrying… to shaping communication in real time. You’ll learn: Why “wait and see” isn’t enough What it means to “shape as you wait” How to respond in ways that help your child want to communicate Why improving brain function is key — no matter the diagnosis This episode is part story, part strategy — and it’s all heart. Don’t miss the free upcoming workshop on Tuesday April 29 with Dr. Lynette Louise and Krystel Alhayek. We’ll be diving even deeper into the tools that get kids communicating — with or without words.
