Rural & Remote Program

Annual residential workshop

Our residential workshop is an intensive week of seminars and therapy sessions for parents and children and is held in January. Each year, families arrive on Sunday to settle into accommodation and attend a late afternoon seminar to meet and hear from other parents of children with hearing loss.  The next five days (and some evenings) are filled with seminars, therapy sessions and discussions. Children attend four therapy sessions with their parents.

At the end of the workshop, parents leave with a great deal of information about hearing loss, speech and language and how to use the principles of Auditory-Verbal Therapy. In addition they will receive a report from their therapist with goals to work toward over the coming months. It is a wonderful opportunity for families in isolated areas to meet other parents and share ideas, strategies and stories.
