* Introduction to the equipment, the component parts, buttons, lights etc.
* Fundamentals of listening development
* Routine listening checks
* What is it like to have a hearing loss?
* Meeting a CI user and a parent of a CI user.
* How to support a CI user in his/her educational setting.
* How to improve the listening environment for a child.
Teas and Coffees will be provided.
Comfort breaks and lunch breaks will be included.
Delegates will need to bring their own lunch.
Delegates will need to choose two workshops; one for the manufacturer of the device the child they support uses and the other the age range of the same person.
