Welcome to our first PORA Webinar in the New Year 2023!
Our speaker – Gaby Thierbach – will introduce us to various implantable hearing and bone conduction solutions, she will talk about her work in clinics and share her experiences as a mother of a son with CI.
Gaby Thierbach joined the Australian company Cochlear 30 years ago, two years after Prof. Ernst Lehnhardt provided her son with a Cochlear Implant in Hannover.
In the same year (1991) already she founded a self-help group for parents of hearing-impaired children and she launched the initiative “I want to hear” in Germany.
1995 she relocated to Lucerne / Switzerland so that her son could enjoy the therapy of the world-renowned teacher Susann Schmid-Giovannini (PORA! DECEMBER’22)
Among the outstanding achievements of her now more than 30 years of professional activities are:
– support Prof. Ernst Lehnhardt and Prof. Roland Laszig introducing CI programmes in Turkey, Spain and Greece
– active support of the introductory campaign for Baha in Switzerland
– consulting during surgical interventions in various clinics in Switzerland
– organization of conferences and workshops on various topics including rehabilitation for different target groups
– launching the DVD “Hören mit CI” (individual version developed in collaboration with clinics in Switzerland based on “I want to hear” initiative for potential CI candidates and parents)
– Participation with final exam in the Comenius program QUESWHIC, organized by the Lehnhardt foundation and financially supported by EU
There are only very few educators for hearing impaied children from German-speaking Central Europe and Russia whose names are well-known and highly respected all over the world. We cordially invite you to participate in the forum-discussion on December 11 with the teacher for early intervention Susann SCHMID-GIOVANNINI from Austria and the scientist-therapist for the hearing impaired/surdopedagogue Emilia LEONGARD from Russia. Both ladies have been working persistently, consistently and successfully in early hearing and speech education for hearing-impaired children in Switzerland respectively Russia for several decades. They are two of the great ladies in contemporary international and interdisciplinary education for the hearing impaired.
Es gibt nur sehr wenige Hörgeschädigtenpädagogen aus dem deutschsprachigen Mitteleuropa und Russland, deren Namen man in aller Welt kennt und mit Hochachtung nennt. Wir laden Sie herzlich ein, an der Forum- Diskussion am 11. Dezember mit der Frühpädagogin Susann SCHMID-GIOVANNINI aus Österreich und der Wissenschaftlerin-Hörtherapeutin/Surdopädagogin Emilia LEONGARD aus Russland teilzunehmen. Beide Damen arbeiten seit mehreren Jahrzehnten in der Schweiz bzw. Russland beharrlich, konsequent und erfolgreich in der frühen Hör-Spracherziehung für hörgeschädigte Kinder. Sie sind zwei der großen Frauengestalten der internationalen und interdisziplinären Hörgeschädigtenpädagogik der Gegenwart.
We invite you to PORA! on 27.11.22 at 15.00 CET with Colleen Psarros from Australia.Telepractice in hearing health care was, in general, highly underutilised until the COVID-19 pandemic. Barriers and facilitators for its use in CI service delivery prior to the pandemic were predominantly organisationally based. Clinical models and protocols were structured around within clinic care with clinicians acting as the gatekeepers to accessing novel methods of care. With the pivot to telepractice due to the pandemic we have identified the psychosocial factors that contribute to potential underutilisation of telepractice. In this session we will identify ways we can bridge existing gaps in use of a telepractice method of CI care, but most importantly identify ways users of CI and their families can access the model of care best suited to their needs.
Gisela Batliner will answer your questions on this topic. Send them in advance by leaving a comment here or by sending an email to liubov.wolowik@lehnhardt-academy.net
