"This is a wonderful program and an
excellent resource for families. Kudos! and thanks."
-Parent of a child with hearing loss
"The Auditory-Options Project Consultant was great with this
family today. She was informative and gave the Mom great ideas to use right
from the start. She also gave the Mom a packet of information and went over
it,
also a video." -Professional
"The Auditory-Options Project (AOP) was the right program at the
right time (our daughter had just been diagnosed). The Auditory-Options
Project Consultant's attitude, charisma, and professionalism was evident
from the first day. You could easily tell that she truly cared about our
daughter and her development. The impact the AOP Consultant and the Auditory-Options Project had on our daughter is very clear--she began to listen
better, communicate easier, and speak a lot more. I really liked how the AOP
Consultant included the whole family, including our 4 year old and newborn
in all the therapies. We feel indebted to the AOP Consultant for her
support, dedication, and commitment to helping our daughter. As we have
told her, we think of her as an angel sent to us during our darkest hour.
You should be very happy to have the AOP Consultant represent the AOP, she
does a heck of a job." -Parent of a child with hearing loss
"The Auditory-Options Project has been a wonderful, helpful
program which has really enabled our daughter to communicate verbally and
listen more effectively. The Auditory-Options Project Consultant has an
amazing rapport with my kids which was critical in getting our hearing
impaired daughter to open up and communicate...We have been so thankful and
impressed with the help we received." -Parent of a child with
hearing loss
"The Auditory Options Project has been invaluable to me. The
AOP Consultant has taught me so much about different auditory techniques and
activities. She has provided to my program several resources that I can use
with my families at no cost to our program! She supports the information
provided to the family by the Regional Infant Hearing Program staff and
clarifies information when needed. She is very knowledgeable about the
auditory method, activities, brain development, hearing losses, etc. and
shares that information with the RIHP and family in a very positive and
natural way. She has a team-oriented approach and includes the RIHP at all
times during the home visit!" -Professional
"This is a great program--we are
finding it to be very beneficial." -Parent of a child
with hearing loss
"I thought I had made up my mind on cochlear implants. But the AOP
Consultant gave me a lot of info to look over so that I can make a better
decision. That makes a lot of difference to me. I was happy with her."
-Parent of a child with hearing loss
"I was very impressed with the AOP Consultant. All ideas were very helpful
and explained so that I felt I could do them with my child on my own."
-Parent of a child with hearing loss
"I feel much more educated regarding auditory options and those choices
offered for the parents. The activities related with the child and their
particular hearing loss. This is a very beneficial program and I hope to be
able to work with the AOP consultant many more times in the future."

"I think the Auditory-Options project has been a positive thing for Ohio. It
has been great to work with the AOP Consultant and reinforce the training I
have had and also to gain new ideas. This is a great supplement to the RIHP
for those families choosing a-o/a-v options or want more information! The
project has made it clear they will only go in homes with an invite and also
respect all modes of communication!!! I look forward to a continued
partnership!! She has been an asset in Region 2. She has upcoming
workshops we are excited about." -Professional
"The AOP Consultant has given me a chance to plan doing an activity with the
family and in all the visits has been willing to let me add to her activity.
She has been a wonderful addition to the home visits that she attends and
she has been a wonderful resource. She has offered good feedback and has
been willing to accept feedback also. I'm pleased to be working with her."
