Infant Hearing Screening: ASHA Award for New Kids on the Block (Joey McIntyre)
Tuesday, August 24th 2010Singer To Receive Annie Award
Rockville, MD – August 12, 2010- Performing artist Joe McIntyre of New Kids on the Block is the interviewee in a new podcast by the American Speech-Language-Hearing Association (ASHA). McIntyre explains why he views his son Rhys’ hearing loss as a blessing and why he values the professionals who treat his child on a weekly basis.
At ASHA’s Convention in Philadelphia this November, McIntyre will receive the Annie Glenn Award. The “Annie,” named after Annie Glenn for her many years of advocacy on behalf of people with communication disorders, is an honor ASHA bestows annually. Last year’s recipient was Vice President Joseph R. Biden Jr.
In the podcast, McIntyre only has praise for communication professionals, including the one that helps Rhys during his weekly sessions. “[Rhys’] therapist is such an advocate… and we trust her. [Rhys’ therapy] has a vocational vibe to it… [These therapists are] helping families cope, and there's a real compassionate feeling to it all. They deal with different families all the time. And you have to have a lot of space in your heart and your soul and within your life to do this kind of work and to deal with the emotions of this kind of a journey… I think everybody in this kind of calling is to be commended.”
Honored to receive this year’s Annie, McIntyre realizes he is in a unique position to continue spreading awareness of hearing loss and help those in the community. “To be able to even be a part of this and have an award is really cool and I appreciate it,” he says.
