Summer Adventures For Deaf Teens

Wow! What a great time we had at the Beach Water Park! At Community Services for the Deaf of the Hearing Speech & Deaf Center of Cincinnati, we are thrilled to be able to offer Summer Adventures for Deaf Teens.

We have fun free activities once a week to Cincinnati attractions. Yesterday we had our first trip - to the wildly popular Beach Water Park. The entrance tickets were paid for by a special grant from Advocates for Kids and The Greater Cincinnati Foundation. We are most grateful for these two grants so local Deaf teens can get together over the summer.

Want more information? Want to sign up? Contact Carole Donnellon 513-221-0527 ext 182 or CDonnellon@HearingSpeechDeaf.com.

Enjoy the pictures of our day at The Beach!

Deaf Movie - April 1, 2008

Playwright Stephen Sachs has adapted his original play, Sweet Nothing In My Ear, for a Hallmark Hall of Fame television movie set to air on CBS in April.

The television version of Sweet Nothing, now shooting, is directed by Emmy Award-winning Joseph Sargent and stars Academy Award winner Marlee Matlin and Golden Globe winner Jeff Daniels.

In Sweet Nothing in My Ear, Laura, who is deaf, and Dan, who is hearing, are an attractive young couple happily married for nine years. Their son Adam was born hearing, but by age six has also become deaf. When Dan decides to pursue the possibility of a cochlear implant for his boy- a tiny computer chip inserted in the brain that would allow him toregain his hearing - a divisive wedge is driven between husband and wifethat threatens to shatter their marriage.
