Ever since its beginning in 1890, AG Bell has promoted oral education for deaf and hard of hearing children. It does this by providing information, training, and through research. AG Bell also provides a speech and hearing checklist to aid parents.
Two of AG Bell's longest lived publications, are the Volta Review and Volta Voices. Plus, their catalog carries themed monographs of the Volta Review.
Bell provides financial aid and scholarships to parents, children, and college students. Award recipients are reported on in Bell publications, and in the past I have seen that children in foreign countries were award recipients.
The association has three sections: an Oral Hearing Impaired Section for adults and youth; a Parent Section (which gives the first year free to new parents), and the International Organization for the Education of the Hearing Impaired.
Finally, Bell has chapters in most states, Canada, and internationally. A few of the chapters have their own web sites.
