Posted: October 24, 2022
A.T. Still University-Arizona School of Health Sciences (ATSU-ASHS) Doctor of Audiology students hosted the seventh annual Education And Recreation (E.A.R.) Day on Oct. 15, 2022, where Deaf and Hard-of-Hearing children, along with their parents and friends, enjoyed a day of fun activities and educational opportunities.
E.A.R. Day was first organized in 2015 by ATSU-ASHS alumna Lisa Bell, AuD, ’16, after Bell received a HEAR (Humanitarian, Education, and Awareness Resources) grant from the National Student Academy of Audiology (SAA).
From face painting and laser tag to obstacle courses and snow cones, children spent the day participating in many fun activities. Children also rotated through learning stations, like the Healthy Habits station, where they learned about proper dental habits.
Parents had an opportunity to speak with vendors and hear from a panel of guest speakers who covered topics such as communication strategies, hearing loss resources, and hearing protection.
