The Oberkotter Foundation/Oral Deaf Education

Many profoundly deaf children are using spoken language effectively to communicate because of the combination of powerful hearing aids and cochlear implants that maximize their listening potential, and the appropriate auditory/oral teaching strategies that help them develop oral language skills. Deaf children are learning to listen and speak for themselves.
