What's New?

The HRF now has three new rhythm, rhyme, and song resources for use with children. Although originally designed for use with children with profound hearing loss, they have proved to be very popular with all children regardless of their hearing status.  All three provide practice in producing rhythmic, fluent speech, and can also be adapted for speech perception training. All this AND they are fun too!

The first article (PDF Link) in a new series, Topics in Aural Rehabilitation, to be written by Geoff Plant from the HRF is now available!
