No Limits for Deaf Children (0:00:00) About 15% of children and teens in the United States live with hearing loss. Because of its prevalence in our communities, deaf and hearing loss awareness has increased exponentially over the past several decades. But that doesn’t change the fact that school, sports, and extracurricular activities are designed for those with certain hearing abilities. And many kids with hearing loss find themselves left out resulting in lower self-esteem. Fortunately, No Limits for Deaf Children, a nonprofit organization based out of California, is helping hard-of-hearing and deaf children gain confidence and communication skills. Joining us today is their founder, Dr. Michelle Christie, to talk about their programs and the everyday experiences of deaf children. Alzheimer’s Disease (0:21:41) There are almost 50 million people worldwide suffering with Alzheimer’s disease. About ten percent of that number comes from the US, with 5.5 million cases. According to the Alzheimer’s Association, that number might triple in the next 30 years if we don’t find a cure or method to slow down the process. With numbers like these, it’s very likely you know someone with this disease or someone who is prone to it. Today, we have the Executive Director of the Utah Chapter of the Alzheimer’s Association, Ronnie Daniel. He is here to tell us all about Alzheimer’s disease, early signs, and research. Bread Making at Home (0:36:33) Of all of the crazy, lazy or productive things we’ve done in the last two months, I personally don’t think you can qualify yourself as a proper “quarantiner” if you haven’t tried your hand at homemade bread. Now whether you’re an experienced baker or not, we can all learn something from today’s guest, Peter Reinhart. Peter is an internationally renowned expert on baking, one the most popular artisan bread teachers in the country, and current Chef on Assignment at Johnson & Wales University. And he’s here to teach us everything we need to know about bread making at home. Real Leaders
