2013 Residential Workshops
The Shepherd Centre’s Workshops for parents
and professionals are internationally renowned
for providing educational and practical
information on developing listening and
spoken language in children with hearing loss…
Designed for both families of a child with
hearing loss, and for professionals working
with children with hearing loss, workshop
attendees will benefit from the expertise of
our specialised clinical team, with access to
Listening and Spoken Language Specialists,
Audiologists and Child and Family Counsellors.
In 2013, The Shepherd Centre will host an
extended schedule of Workshops, in Sydney,
the North and South Coasts of NSW, Dubbo
and Wagga Wagga.
The week-long residential program in Sydney
in July offers short courses for parents and
professionals, as well as individual and group
language sessions with children, providing
A focus on ‘take home learning’ provides
families with the resources and strategies
needed to ensure their child’s spoken language
continues to develop and improve.
The Workshop programs are designed
to include the whole family, with sibling
participation encouraged at all levels.
