Heuser Hearing & Language Academy educators are at the forefront of virtual education in this unprecedented time. <\/em><\/p>\n\n\n\n

Louisville,\nKY (March 19, 2020)-<\/strong> As\nschools continue to shut their doors due to Coronavirus, educators from Heuser\nHearing & Language Academy  are\nthinking virtual. Heuser Hearing & Language Academy is a comprehensive,\neducational community that exists to empower children with hearing loss and\nthose experiencing a speech, language and communication delay to reach their\nfull potential and to effectively participate in the larger community. This new\nway of education comes with the support of the Kentucky Commission on the Deaf\nand Hard of Hearing.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

During\nthis uncertain time the educators at Heuser want to continue their work and\nsupport any family in Kentucky that needs a little assistance teaching and\nlearning with children who are deaf and hard of hearing. Using tools such as\nZOOM meetings and YouTube educators can teach visually while families still\nremain at home for health and safety. Along with the video based education plan\nHeuser has created full \u201cEnrichment Packages\u201d. \nThese packages and virtual lessons are for preschool and kindergarten\nage children who are deaf or hard of hearing. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u201cOur educators truly care about\nour families and all who are affected during this hectic time. We have worked\nvery hard over the past week creating new styles of teaching and the plan to\nenable this virtual style. Using ZOOM and YouTube we can be in your home while\nyou learn and teach alongside your child. \nWe want all students and families to be given the opportunity to learn\naspects such as sign language in both Spanish and English, balance\nlessons,  and simply how to check hearing\ndevices for your loved ones,\u201d says Education Director Debbie Woods.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The Kentucky Commission on the Deaf and Hard of Hearing or\nKCDHH acts as an advocate for deaf and hard of hearing persons on legislative\nissues as well as a consultant to the governor, General Assembly and various\nstate and local governmental agencies concerning policies and programs that\npertain to people with hearing loss. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u201cWe all understand that in person instruction is the best way\nfor our students to learn.  However, as\nwe are in a crisis we are fortunate for today\u2019s technology and how Heuser is\nusing what is available to ensure continued education.  I applaud Heuser as they work with our\nGovernor and look for ways to continue to educate our future.\u201d says KCDHH\nExecutive Commissioner, Virginia Moore. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

Heuser Hearing & Language Academy would like to thank the\nKCDHH for their support and welcome any family who would like to participate in\nthis form of education through Heuser to reach out to\ndwoods@thehearinginstitute.org<\/p>\n\n\n\n
