Educational Audiology Awareness Week seeks to promote advocacy for the Educational Audiology profession as well as professional recognition and thanks. Below are resources you can use to help spread Ed Aud Awareness! #EdAudWeek #EdAudAdvocacy The 2025 theme is 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 will spotlight resources for clinicians and families as their child prepares for the classroom and how to help these children succeed.
