Better Hearing and Speech Month: Renee Powell, with Oklahoma Family Network

Each May, Better Hearing and Speech Month (BHSM) provides an opportunity to raise awareness about communication disorders and the role so many play in providing life-altering treatment.  For 2021, the theme is "Building Connections."

 

Today, Oklahoma Family Network introduces one of their own, Renee Powell, through the podcast.  Renee shares her heart, her journey, and educates us on the Early Hearing Detection and Intervention (EHDI) goals and objectives, and how we can apply them throughout Oklahoma.

 

Renee shares her personal story and experience with her son Nolan, and their journey finding the right diagnosis surrounding hearing loss and finding the right resources for their family!
