HOPE: Online Learning Courses

HOPE Online seminars are intended for educational professionals, therapists, and clinicians who work with children with hearing loss. Many seminars are also appropriate for parents, teens and adults with cochlear implants.

Participants may retain a copy of the instructors’ PowerPoint presentation and other handouts. Continuing Education Units (CEU’s) from ASHA and the American Academy of Audiology (AAA) are offered for all live online seminars while CEU’s from AAA are also available for recorded courses.

A Certificate of Participation is provided for those who complete a Feedback form. Such certificates can be submitted for CEU credits as well. Courses given by individuals who are Certified Auditory Verbal Therapists are also eligible for credits from AG Bell’s Academy for Listening and Spoken Language.

The Learning Modules for professionals provide guidance by specifying self study tracks that may be helpful in organizing one’s utilization of recorded HOPE Online seminars.
