Being connected to the right resources can make all the difference – for anything in life! I can’t wait to get you connected to the resources that are right for YOU!
Check out these great opportunities to connect both nationally and locally:
1. AGBell – For Families and Professionals
Connect at www.agbell.org
If you are not yet connected to the Alexander Graham Bell Association for the Deaf and Hard of Hearing, you are really missing out. This organization has been around since 1880 and has played an integral part in bringing listening and spoken language to children and adults who have hearing differences. With so many options out there for how to manage hearing differences, this is one place to get connected to information and support groups for those seeking spoken language outcomes for children and adults.
Speaking of connecting… I will be at the AGBell National Convention in Denver, CO next week…come connect with me!! I would love to meet you and hear your story about how hearing differences is a part of your life. Contact me at carrie@carrienorman.com
2. UTD Callier Center – For Education Audiologists
