Seminars for Parents of Children with Cochlear Implants

I just posted about The Listening Room and Hearing Journey, but wanted to add a link to GREAT online courses for all types of folks associated with cochlear implants.

The Bionic Ear Association offers live and recorded web classes for professionals who work with cochlear implant recipients, adult CI users, as well as parents of CI children. You can find a schedule of live classes, as well as a list of recorded presentations here. I've personally been soaking up all the classes I can that are related to the Listening for Littles program.

I have three boys, two deaf with cochlear implants. I am SO THANKFUL for all of the resources I've found through the internet! There is much more information available to us since our first son was diagnosed deaf almost seven years ago. ;)

The LISTENING ROOM!

I THINK I've blogged about this before, but if so I feel the need to share again. I am finding GREAT resources for both of my CI boys at The Listening Room! My CI boys are now 4 and 8, with very different oral and auditory skills, but I find the activities from the Listening Room to be great for both of them. There will be additional resources added for Teens and Adults soon, too!

"A web resource full of (re)habilitation activities and ideas to support the development of listening and language skills in children, adolescents and adults."

The Listening Room is part of Hearing Journey.

"If you or a loved one is on a journey to find the best possible hearing, you have found an online community of fellow travelers who are on the same journey. A journey filled with hope and exciting possibilities for a brighter hearing future. You'll find lively discussions, new friendships, and reliable information on the latest in cochlear implant technology here. Wherever you are in your hearing journey, we warmly welcome you. Come on in!"

These are a couple of sites I'm really enjoying, just had to share them with you. Enjoy! ;)
