I loved the deep dive into Wright's Law and how to help improve my reports to include the appropriate wording for best access to HAT and educational audiology for my clinical patients.

I am an educational audiologist in NYC and I guess I take for granted that my service would be automatically be provided for all deaf and hard of hearing students. I see that is not the case, depending on where you live. This would also be a great course for clinical audiologists! It was a great review of all of the laws that support our service.

I am an educational audiologist and some of then information was a review. I can however, see that this would prove extremely valuable to professionals that are in the field, and or work with the deaf or hard of hearing population (students).

The course gives a very good overview of this area of audiology. An audiologist should use this as a jumping off point if they want to act as an educational audiologist, however, further training is needed.

In 1981 I began my audiology career in the schools, and I have strongly advocated for school audiologists. Although I am currently retired (but might not stay totally retired), I still want to fight for the role of educational audiologists: our current administration has decimated the role. This course was a great synopsis of different disciplines roles as well as overview regarding IDEA and 504 as it relates to Educational Audiologists. Thank you!

She was definitely knowledgeable but she was all over the place. It was, at times, somewhat "choppy" (cannot think of a better word). I got the impression that she was just talking without an outline or plan. I know that was not exactly the case since there were slides/notes. I respect her knowledge and passion.. it just wan not the best presentation for this format. Nonetheless, I appreciate the content.

In the county where I live we don't have an Ed.Aud, and the school SLP's call me for advice on interpreting audiogram's so they can write reports, I have to send off FM systems for repair, everything. It's a rural area with low funding and I know that's why, but this course has helped me to realize how much I need to advocate with the teachers, SLP's, and parents of those students to push for an Ed Aud in the system because I am not doing them any favors being on the sidelines like I am.
