We've returned from our annual family vacation, which this year included a trip to The Moog Center for Deaf Education. I'll share information from the wonderful courses and seminars we attended throughout the four day conference in future posts. I would strongly encourage those readers with young children with hearing loss to attend the Summer Parent Workshop. It is an excellent educational opportunity as well as a wonderful way to meet other parents. (And as a bonus, your child will receive four hours of therapy throughout the seminar! For $150, it's worth it just for that!)
Our first night in St. Louis we were able to meet Elizabeth from Deaf Village and co-author of Cochlear Implant Online. Elizabeth is currently working on her graduate studies in oral deaf education and certainly has a world of possibility in front of her. The way she interacted with Drew was amazing, and Drew's Dad and I quickly began the recruitment process, trying to lure her to our area of the country.
Elizabeth, it was wonderful meeting you!

Isn't Elizabeth just wonderful!?! If you get her to move to your area, we're moving there too! I've been trying to recruit her since day one! : )
The Moog conference sounds wonderful! And I know you guys are all trying to get Elizabeth to move to your area, but we have a Moog school in Buffalo. The perfect job opportunity! You like snow, right Elizabeth?
