| Description |
Two professionals, an educator of the deaf and a speech-language pathologist, chose their careers because of their experiences as parents of children with hearing loss. Having sat on both sides of the clinical/therapy table – first as parent and then a professional – both individuals possess a unique perspective that enables them to guide and empower families smoothly through the early intervention and educational processes. Both professionals will share how their dual perspective has helped them to better serve the students and the families they serve. The presentation will consist of personal experiences and video clips from their children’s journey, their experience entering professions involving hearing loss, and a video experiment showing what the average person knows about hearing loss and the related terminology.
