Online Workshops
Smart Ears is pleased to offer online workshops on teaching children with hearing loss to listen and talk. In addition to the Basic (introductory) workshop, a number of advanced workshops will be offered over a period of time. The workshops are aimed at education and health professionals who work with hearing-impaired children.
Online workshops are convenient. You don't have to miss additional days of work traveling to another city for the workshop (not to mention arranging a babysitter at home!). You can sit at your computer at your home or workplace, relax, and concentrate all your energy on learning! Online workshops are also cost-effective; they cost a fraction of what conventional workshops do if you factor in the cost of travel, stay, and lost workdays.
ASHA CEUs are offered for the workshops.
