Families + Pediatric Audiologist + LSL Interventionist = Improved LSL Outcomes!

If you're anything like us, you have been using some of the "lazy days of summer" while at the beach or in the mountains thinking about and planning for all the great things on the horizon. It's hard to not be excited about what's to come! 

So, we wanted to share what's been on our mind. We're focusing on the importance of pediatric audiologists and LSL professionals working closely together to provide family-centered care and how Hearing First could better contribute to this challenge and need.

With that in mind, we're adding two professionals with specific expertise and experience to the Hearing First team. Joining the team are Terry Zwolan, Ph.D., CCC-A as Director of Audiology and Tamara Elder, M.S., CCC-SLP, LSLS Cert. AVT as Programs Leader.

Dr. Zwolan brings to Hearing First over 30 years of experience in patient care and research as Professor in the Department of Otolaryngology-Head and Neck Surgery and Director of the Cochlear Implant Program at the University of Michigan.

Together, with our partners, we will develop new resources and learning experiences focused on the knowledge and skills that pediatric audiologists, LSL interventionists, and families need to know and do so every child can reach their potential. 

We hope you will enjoy your remaining “lazy days of summer” and join us in welcoming Dr. Terry Zwolan and Tami Elder to the team and community!
