KIDS TRIVIA

Detailed explanation-1: -Bell’s mother was deaf/hearing impaired and he would often speak to her by placing his mouth close to her forehead, believing the vibrations from his voice would help her distinguish speech more clearly than using an ear trumpet.

Detailed explanation-2: -Alexander Graham Bell created the American Association to Promote the Teaching of Speech to the Deaf (AAPTSD) in 1890. The mission of the AAPTSD had initially been to promote inclusivity in deaf education.

Detailed explanation-3: -He came to the U.S as a teacher of the deaf, and conceived the idea of “electronic speech” while visiting his hearing-impaired mother in Canada. This led him to invent the microphone and later the “electrical speech machine”–his name for the first telephone. Bell was born in Edinburgh, Scotland on March 3, 1847.
