| Nancy Rushner and Helping Hands Partners during her Training |
This week, Nancy Rushner, M.A., CED, an Early Childhood Education specialist on Deaf & Hard of Hearing program from the University of Hawaii is on island to conduct workshops for American Samoa’s service providers, as part of the Early Hearing Detection & Intervention project. Moe Masoe and Nometa Sene-Moleni of ASPIRC were fortunate to be invited by its close partner, Helping Hands, to this important training today at Helping Hands conference room from 9am to 10:45am.
Nancy pointed out that by starting early, parents can teach their baby to communicate and have them ready for ECE. She also stressed that teaching young children who are deaf, deaf-blind, or hard of hearing infants is a family affair.
