Listen to Me! Hawaii New Family Application
We are excited to join local Hawaii professionals in launching Listen to Me! Hawaii— a comprehensive training for families receiving cochlear implants for their young children. This program will be modeled after our current California program, the Listen to Me! Conference at Stanford University.
Listen to Me! is a research-based, family centered, supportive training program that we have created and improved upon for the last 14 years. We are looking for opportunities to share this model at a larger scale, and Hawaii is our first adventure! In order to start a program that will be sustainable and repeatable annually in Hawaii, we are collaborating with many local medical professionals and educators in Hawaii to host our third LTM Hawaii Conference in 2024.
We have assembled an LTM Hawaii Leadership Team, and we are thrilled to be working closely with these three amazing specialists in Hawaii to build our program:
Jennifer Clark, MA, Early Childhood D/HH Specialist
Kimi Perez, MS, CCC-SLP, LSLS Cert AVT
Lori Wiley, AuD, PhD, CCC-A, Audiologist
The LTM Hawaii Conference will be comprised of 3 in-person days. The in-person days will be November 9—11, 2024.
The curriculum, content, and structure will predominantly be the same as the LTM California Conference, while also including customized content for families living in Hawaii.
Who is eligible?
- Child must be between 0 and 5 years old (must turn 6 after November 15).
