Rehabilitation and other assistance

Hearing For Children

One of the important functions we are trying to undertake is to provide rehabiliation materials that can be widely used by literate parents to help their hearing-impaired child.

We are posting here the first fruits of that effort, which is a growing set of materials produced in English and Spanish by the John Tracy Clinic. What we are offering as of August of 2003 is 3 lessons of 12 that have been translated into Arabic largely through the efforts of SAWA, the Syrian-American Women's Association, by a dear and wonderful man, Majd Abbar.
