Gideons is speaker who shares her story of raising kids who have hearing loss, cochlear implants, and hearing aids

Let’s Work Together

As a parent of children with hearing loss and an author dedicated to advocacy, I offer a unique and deeply personal perspective on what it means to raise confident, empowered kids who are deaf or hard of hearing. I write and speak with heart, insight, and decades of perspective; sharing stories that raise awareness, support families, and promote inclusion.  

Through my work, I empower others to navigate hearing loss with confidence and connection. 

Why This Matters 

Hearing loss is not a limitation—when children are supported early and offered love & language, they can thrive in all aspects of life. All of my talks blend practical insights with heartfelt storytelling, empowering families and professionals to shift from worry to confidence in their parenting and support.
