The workshop is
organized in two parts.First we’ll
focus on the problem.What are the
myths and assumptions about our hearing loss that torture us in the workplace
environment. How do we let people know not only that we have a hearing loss,
but how to make communication easier for all of us.What are the challenges in the office where your communication
is typically one on one.What are the
challenges in a meeting where you not only have a group setting, but also
group dynamics.
The second part
is about coping strategies.What does
the Americans with Disabilities Act say about employment for people with
hearing loss.What kind of strategies
can you use with the telephone.What
kind of strategies can you use with the building and conference rooms.We’ll also talk about solutions that can
be designed using technology.You can
take the information from this part and ambush the exhibitors here in the
convention hall!
