Online Course Detail

A child with a cochlear implant needs a team of people to properly support his or her needs at school. That team should include school-based professionals, CI clinicians, parents, the child and classmates. The purpose of this seminar is to review the role of each team member and discuss how parents and others can encourage a support network so the child can develop and flourish.
