Foundations for Professionals

A workshop for professionals working with children who are deaf or hard of hearing

Building Strategies

The FOUNDATIONS for Professionals workshop, created by BCFHRS, is designed to strengthen professionals’ knowledge of children’s hearing differences/deafness and how they relate to their development. Research shows that children with hearing differences/deafness are at risk for social, emotional and academic difficulties. The Foundations for Professionals workshop aims to equip professionals with the knowledge and strategies needed to support development and learning in these areas.

  • Improving Understanding: The Foundations workshop is designed to strengthen understanding of how hearing/deafness can impact development
  • Many Topics: We cover many types of hearing loss/deafness, optimal environments, strategies and more.
  • Interactive: Listen to simulations of hearing loss, discuss hearing through equipment, adapt activities to rooms, collect resources.
