LOUD SHIRT DAY

Today is Loud Shirt Day.

It's the "annual appeal of The Hearing House and the Southern Cochlear Implant Paediatric Programme, two independent charities who are dedicated to enabling deaf children with a cochlear implant to listen and speak like their hearing peers." They provide "Auditory-Verbal Therapy [which] works by accelerating the natural language development process to enable a deaf or hearing-impaired child to catch up on the listening and language development that he or she missed out on before receiving a cochlear implant."
