I am a teacher of the deaf with Hearing Education Services (HES), a citywide program which serves over 3,600 students. I provide assistance in auditory training, speechreading, and the use and care of hearing aids and FM assistive technology. I am involved in planning this year's convention of SHHH, Self-Help for Hard of Hearing people. As a teacher, I would like to see many of my students' families attend. Most have limited means and cannot afford $20 per person for the bus and a $35 fee per family for the Children's Workshop. SHHH holds its Annual Convention in a different part of the country each year. Given the high cost of hotel accommodation in our area, this may be the only opportunity for parents and children to attend a SHHH Convention near home. One of the things I do at HES is teach deaf students about assistive technology that will make their lives easier. I demonstrate devices such as light flashers, bed vibrating alarm clocks, TTYs, and phone amplifiers. At the SHHH Exhibit Hall, there will be over 80 tables demonstrating the latest techology. The Children's Workshop will start out with "Mr. Magic" - an interactive comedy/magic show at the Hilton. The children will then visit the famed Mummer's Museum in Philadelphia and learn the Mummer's Strut. The children will then parade in costumes through the Exhibit Hall with the Mummers. The day will end there, where children and their parents will have an opportunity to try new assistive technologies. The children will be given a chance to meet other kids who have a hearing loss. For those who are the only one in their school, this might be the only chance they'll get. The parents will be given an opportunity to network with other parents. If any parents feel ashamed of their child's hearing loss, they might gain a more positive and upright feeling. The SHHH Convention is a once-in-a-lifetime opportunity not to be missed! The bus for 20 children and their families to SHHH Convention in Cherry Hill, NJ ($529), and registration for them at the Children's Workshop ($700), cost a total of $1229
