Research Opportunity from UBC

We would like to share this request on behalf of Alisa Bridger, a doctoral student in Counselling Psychology at UBC. Alisa wears many hats: she is a PhD student; a counselling psychologist in the public school system; and most important of all, she is the mother of three children, two of whom are hard of hearing. Alisa’s doctoral research is on the experience of hard of hearing youth as they transition from elementary to secondary school.

Please see Alisa’s letter of introduction addressed to TDHHs as well as a flyer for parents and students. On behalf of Alisa and the supervising Team at UBC, we thank you for sharing with your students and we thank the students for participating.

The annual CAEDHH-BC conference was held virtually once more this year, with nearly 90 participants in attendance. This year’s theme was “Language and Communication Development of Students who are DHH with Diverse Needs”, and topics featured presentations by:

Dr. Thangi Appanah (Gallaudet University)
Dr. Susan Bruce (Boston College)
Dr. Amanda Clements (Cobb County Schools, Georgia)
Dr. Caroline Guardino (University of North Florida)
Dr. Millicent Musyoka (Lamar University)
Dr. Lianna Pizzo (University of Massachusetts, Boston)

We look forward to seeing everyone again next year!
