A little side project I'd like to share!
Over the past few years, graduate students in Western University's Speech-Language Pathology program and I have been developing a growing library of free microlearning modules called Sound Steps.
The modules focus on practical strategies for individuals with hearing loss, families, teachers, and professionals. They include videos, downloadable resources, and interactive activities like the one shown below.
While many of my Troll in a Bowl followers work in areas beyond hearing loss, some of you may support children or adults who wear hearing aids or remote mic systems.
Current modules address topics such as:
• Remote microphone use in classrooms
• Supporting hearing aid use in preschool settings
• Communication strategies for couples managing hearing loss
• Helping babies with hearing loss listen and learn
• Language development through daily routines
• Hearing technology management and self-advocacy for teens
Feel free to explore, share with colleagues, or pass along to anyone who might find the resources useful.

And if you have ideas for future topics, I'd love to hear them!
