Sound and the ability to communicate make our lives meaningful. Yet imagine living in a world where you are not able to participate. Hearing and speech disorders, the number one disabling condition in the country, affect some 24 million Americans. Often called invisible disabilities, they're commonly seen in our daily lives. As director of the New York Institute for Special Education, I'm asking you to seek out help if you suspect a hearing or speech problem. Don't live in a world of isolation. My dad's a veteran, but he doesn't have a wheelchair. Where is Vietnam? Hey, there's my motor back there. You play basketball? Do you drive a special car? A Vigil-A chapter? Yes. I don't like it when people get hurt. America has paid a high price for its freedom. It was worth it. Music
