EdAud Awareness Week 2026

We are excited to announce that the 2026 theme for Educational Audiology Awareness Week is Connect, Collaborate, Cultivate: Driving Student Outcomes. Educational audiologists are important team collaborators in serving deaf and hard of hearing students, from the provision of special education related services to 504 plan accommodations. This year, we will highlight the partnerships educational audiologists have with other professionals and families to maximize services and support to fuel student achievement.

Hosted by the Educational Audiology Association (EAA), this week recognizes and thanks the professionals who help students who are deaf and hard of hearing thrive in school. Explore the resources below, share them widely, and help us spread the word. #EdAudWeek  #EdAudAdvocacy

When a Deaf or Hard-of-Hearing toddler is starting school, the change for their family can seem daunting. How will their child access communication in the classroom? How does the family plan for their technology needs as they become school-aged? What is the best placement for their child? How will they do in school? Will they have friends? Educational Audiology Awareness Week spotlights resources for clinicians and families as their child prepares for the classroom and how to help these children succeed.
