Diagnosed with profound hearing loss as a toddler, Grace’s family found NextSense soon after, and she received two cochlear implants and a range of therapies to support her, including audiology, occupational therapy, speech therapy and psychology.
She was later diagnosed with Usher syndrome, a rare genetic disease that affects both hearing and vision, and we have continued to work with her as she re-focuses her goals and embraces what she can do.
