Speechreading Instruction Opportunity

SPEECHREADING  INSTRUCTIONAL  OPPORTUNITY  FOR DEAF OR  HARD-OF-HEARING ADULTS

REGISTER FOR AN UP-COMING LEVEL I

What is speechreading?  The reading of lips and using other visual cues to enable the identification of speech movement and speech sounds.  Acquiring this skill provides an excellent coping strategy to those who are deafened or hard of hearing.  Speechreading eliminates the need or want to isolate from the oral world.  It greatly reduces the frustration and disappointments experienced by those who are experiencing hearing loss.

INSTRUCTOR:  Melanie Elliott - an experienced instructor, a skilled speechreader, curriculum writer and a recognized leader in the hard-of-hearing community.

Fee - not a requirement

When:  The ten-week course will begin 5 October 2016

Where:  in a calm, quiet residential setting in central Halifax

The number of students is limited,  so register early.  If interested in this opportunity, contact Melanie Elliott for a registration application.  She can be reached at carpe.diem@ns.sympatico.ca or by fax at 902 425-2277.
