Five years ago, with the debut of dreams SPOKEN here, we introduced a group of children and their families as they began their oral deaf education. Now, you can see and hear how oral deaf education has helped these children to succeed in mainstream classrooms with their hearing peers in the film There’s a new kid in school. This film is included in our educator’s kit, along with articles and other resources.

With proven and collaborative education programs, you can meet the growing demand for quality oral deaf education among young students with hearing aids and cochlear implants. Providing a continuum of oral deaf services is a sound education policy, and a fiscally responsible choice. Oral deaf children are independent and require fewer special education support services and programs as they make their way through elementary, middle, and high school. As adults, they will enjoy expanded educational and vocational opportunities.

Speaking Volumes is a comprehensive, scripted, powerpoint ready (CD included) education resource ideal for self study and/or professional group presentations, grand rounds, parent group discussions, and class lectures. The core module can be supplemented with one or more of the seven optional modules, making it ideal to tailor presentations for colleagues, families, affiliated professionals and students from a range of disciplines.

Our FREE Comprehensive Parent Kit is an introduction to early intervention and oral deaf education. The kit includes our original 60-minute film, dreams SPOKEN here and a five-year follow-up film, Dreams made real. These videos give you the opportunity to hear the stories of other parents of children with hearing loss, and in Dreams made real you can see their children 5 years later, as they enter mainstream schools. Includes Handbook, DVD and VHS videos: Dreams made real and dreams SPOKEN here, article reprints and suggested reading list.

We have free materials for parent education as well including The ABCs in Early Intervention and Dreams made real, a 23-minute film where parents can see and hear how oral deaf education has helped a group of children grow into confident, engaged, verbal kids. You can Watch Video Clips from this film. Visit our complete order form to order these materials.
