Join us for the 16th annual Carolina Summer Institute. Our institute consists of online coursework to complete prior to attendance, workshop based learning on site, along with hands-on coaching instruction in the practice of Listening and Spoken Language therapy with Certified LSL instructors. This year’s Institute will provide instruction and training to audiologists, speech-language pathologists, and teachers of the deaf who wish to develop their skills in Auditory-Verbal Therapy, a listening and spoken language approach for children with hearing loss. Topics to be covered include, but are not limited to:

 • Planning and Implementing the Auditory-Verbal Session

• The Development of an Auditory Feedback Loop: Strategies for Speech Babble and Critical Elements

• Beyond Input: Strategies for the Elicitation of Specific Vocabulary and Language Targets

Training will occur through online reading & assignments, lectures, discussions, videotape analysis, self-study and hands-on practicum experiences with children who are enrolled in Auditory-Verbal Therapy and their families.

Now in its sixteenth year, the Carolina Summer Institute has provided training in the principles and practice of Auditory-Verbal Therapy to over two hundred professionals from around the world.
