Succession Planning from Toddlers to Scholars
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. 2025 Resources
