Early last year, Lorne experienced sudden hearing loss, before also losing his ability to speak. He uses a pen and notepad, limited lip-reading skills, and American Sign Language (ASL) to communicate. He also uses a small clip-on microphone that transmits the speaker’s voice directly into his ears using wireless technology that connects to his hearing aids. Despite these supports, he has struggled to find work.
With the help of our Creative Employment Options program, Jeremiah found full-time summer employment as a Carpenter/Woodworking Trainee with the Core Neighbourhood Youth Co-op (CNYC).
