Children who are deaf CAN Talk and Listen.

The Auditory-Options Project can show you how.

Our Project Staff consists of four professionals, with backgrounds in audiology and speech-language pathology. These professionals also have additional training in auditory-verbal and/or auditory-oral approaches.

The Hearing Impaired Professional Preparation (H.I.P.P.) project is directed by Dr. Denise Wray of the University of Akron and Dr. Lynne Rowan of Kent State University.
