The University of Toledo Graduate Studies Consortium for Listening and Spoken Language recently hosted a day camp for area high school students with hearing loss in the Speech-Language-Hearing Clinic on Main Campus.<\/p>\n
The camp featured America\u2019s Pride, an award-winning local teen group, and Dr. Lisa Kovach, UT associate professor of educational psychology and national expert on bullying.<\/p>\n
Students made their own drums and performed with the Northern Spirits Drum Circle, and they toured the UT campus and participated in discussions to help prepare for employment.<\/p>\n
\u201cThe talk on bullying showed students how to report to an adult without seeming like a tattletale,\u201d said Adam Barnes, a second year speech-language pathology student. \u201cStudents had the chance to see that they do not have to settle career-wise because of their hearing loss. The event opened their mind to other possibilities.\u201d <\/p>\n
The camp was made possible by a U.S. Department of Education Personnel Development Grant to train UT speech-language pathology students to work with teens with hearing loss.<\/p>\n
\u201cWe want to help them with transition planning, how to self-advocate and show them services provided by our office in addition to the campus tour,\u201d said Dr. Lori Pakulski, UT professor of speech-language pathology.<\/p>\n
In addition to Barnes, students who make up the UT Graduate Studies Consortium for Listening and Spoken Language are Mary Dunn, Ryan Rummel, Emily Russell and Leslie Starr.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
