Program Highlights

  • Students gain experience and skills in spoken language development, aural habilitation, inclusion, literacy and supporting families.
  • Candidates who meet Internship Credential requirements may complete their program under the Internship Option.
  • Designed to accommodate working professionals, classes are offered evenings and weekends at our Woodland Hills campus.

I love the fact that we cover everything from working with babies to working with high school students. It expands your options and provides a broader look at the possibilities when teaching students who are deaf and hard of hearing.
