The League on Television
All My Children star Alicia Minshew plays the role of Kendall, a mother who
recently discovered that her baby on the show, Spike, became deaf after a
car accident. Alicia visited the League for the Hard of Hearing to observe
children with hearing loss in therapy and talk to parents about their
experiences. Alicia also spent time learning about cochlear implants, the
impact of hearing loss on communication and what it is like to live with a
hearing loss. The League applauds Alicia and All My Children for their
commitment addressing such an important issue on the show. At this time,
not all website videos are captioned. All My Children has, however, made
the transcript of this video pod cast available. Click here for a transcript of Alicia's Video
Pod Cast.
