A day with Teresa or one of the Learning Innovation team members is a spring board for doing things new, better, or different within your program, clinic, school, or practice. We strive for inspiring, encouraging, and challenging professionals and parents to raise the bar for children in new and different ways to maximize outcomes. For our team it’s not about the therapy activities or the curriculum, it’s about using specific Auditory –Verbal strategies and techniques and Parent Coaching Strategies to create listeners and talkers. Our ideas about listening and spoken language teaching strategies, parent coaching, collaboration, assessment, critical thinking, and hearing technology have inspired others around the world to rethink and redefine their approach to early intervention – especially with children who are deaf or hard of hearing.
Inspire your colleagues to expand their expectations for children and their families with powerful teaching tools and strategies.
