Lilach Saperstein:
Welcome back to the All About Audiology podcast. This is a special recording for you guys. This is Dr. Lilach Saperstein, and I am so honored to invite you to the All About Audiology Summit. After three years of running this amazing podcast and hearing so much from the amazing participation that we’ve had over different retreats, workshops, and The Support Group, The Connect and Advocate Group – all these different things that we’ve done as a community. I’ve learned from all of you and heard from so many of you how helpful it is to take some of those explanations, and discussions, and experiences with audiology on the go, or outside the podcast, or in a space and environment where you’re much more able, and comfortable, and receptive to having these things. Because in the clinic – when you’re in the audiology clinic – or you’re at the hearing test, you’re at the audiologist office, time in the clinic is precious and limited. And it can feel like there’s all this pressure, you have to do all the testing, and the fitting, and the mapping. And there’s this energy like you have to understand everything all at once [through] discussing these really big lifelong decisions. And they have to be made soon. But also there’s all these feelings that come up and all of these emotions that you don’t necessarily know that, that’s what’s happening. So you want to ask all your questions and gather all your information and resources. But it’s not always so easy to do that in the moment. And from the audiologist side it’s the same because audiologists are really doing everything, having your child on the focus as it should be during those appointments. But sometimes audiologist really wants to say ‘hey, how are you doing?’ with the parents and the family members who are there. Your journey is also happening the same time as your child’s of course. So I really believe that putting the parents experience at the center is number one. It’s my vision with the podcast and everything I’ve done. So I had the idea of making this mega summit event with 20 incredible speakers, so I cannot wait to invite you to the All About Audiology Summit. The dates are September 19 to the 22nd. But even if you’re hearing this after that, we are going to have all the recordings available. So definitely check out https://allaboutaudiology.com/summit/ to sign up. If you come during the days of the summit, the videos and the recordings will be available for 24 hours free of charge. So I’m really really excited. And after that if anyone wants to purchase the entire bundle of all the recordings with their transcripts and special offers from our speakers that will be available as well.
So I just want to run through the amazing speakers we have just so that you know who to come and see and to encourage you to come, and attend, or be a part of the summit in whatever way works for you. Okay, so we have different categories, right so definitely some audiologists talking about various topics, some speech language pathologists, and also Deaf and Hard of Hearing adults themselves. And also advocates, and parents, writers and coaches. Okay, so let’s dive it. Here’s what I gotta tell you. First of all, there’s Abbi Perets. Abbi Perets was on the podcast a while back talking about her son who has microtia, but also her entire family and their journey also with another child in the family who was sick with leukemia and all the different things. She’s been through a lot of different parts of the parenting journey with children with special needs, and as well as being a freelance writer and teaching others how to be freelance writers. So Abbi Perets is fabulous. We have a great conversation in the summit [called] Business Success As a Special Needs Mom.
You definitely want to come to the talk with Dr. Angela Loucks Alexander, who you may know from her TED talk about Auditory Processing Disorder. We talked about how the future of audiology is in the brain. Okay, we really want to support our children’s needs and accommodations.
So after that, I think you all know Dr. Michelle Hu. And she shares more about her personal journey and mission. She also has been on the podcast in the past.
I also invited my husband. Dr. Yona Saperstein is a family physician. And we have quite a chat about what your doctor really thinks of you. [We also spoke about] How to Talk to your kids’ doctor and what doctors are really needing to know and what they’re interested in from that perspective. So that was kind of fun to do. You get to meet my hubby.
Germaine Graham, is an SLP and we talked a lot about how things are different at home versus at school. She’s got [her] deafinitely communicating Instagram account and doing the ABC series right now. So definitely check that out on Instagram with Germaine. And our presentation together was really, really interesting. Our conversation [was] on taking a deep breath and trying to do things in bite sized pieces.
