English
Louise Treadwell Tracy created and completed a project on behalf of children with deafness. She had a son with this special need. A doctor informed her that there was nothing medical intervention could do and that she should bring her son John when he completed 5 years. Louise felt this would be a loss of valuable time. With the aim of helping her son, she developed a method of teaching lip reading in harmony with a system of receptive language combined with expressive language – “We are talking about different sides of the same coin,” she comments. Louise accomplished this sensitive work with her subtle intelligence and loving maternal manner. She notes: “The child is not just reading lip movements, but reading meanings”.
