2/22 Meeting Minutes

Hey guys!
Sorry it took so long to post these minutes!
Last Tuesday we had an audiologist Michelle from Dell Children's Hospital come speak with us.
She was an undergrad here at UT in CSD and went on to the AuD/PhD program here at UT as well. This way she was able to fulfill both her clinical and research interest in the field. She talked about a lot of what she does at work such as behavioral and physiological testing, and counseling families on hearing losses, etc.

UPCOMING EVENTS:
Social: Spicy Pickle 6 p.m. on Tuesday March 1

Fundraiser: Spicy Pickle March 1 (more details to come)

2/8 Meeting- Capitol School of Austin

Hey guys!

So this week we had two staff members from the Capitol School of Austin come and talk to us. They were able to tell us about their pre-school to 3rd grade program for children with speech, language and learning differences.

We learned about their small class size, their different teaching methods, their admissions process and much more!
