Agatha Tufnell was born profoundly deaf. Without the right intervention (“Magic Ears”), determination and concentration, Agatha would never hear anything and would live a silent life. Thankfully when she was four months old she started at a Hampshire based charity that offers unique and free support to pre school deaf children. The Elizabeth foundation is the only family centre in England that teaches deaf children to develop communication and is a place where they can learn and practice the skills needed to develop speech and language. The Foundation gives families the strength and determination to keep positive and optimistic about their child's future.
