This summer, we had the joy of hosting our long-running story-based program for children with hearing loss, Storytime Friends. What an adventure it was! 📚✨

Each day centered around a new children’s book, and the stories came to life through hands-on, experiential activities that connected directly to the themes and characters. From imaginative play to sensory-rich crafts and outdoor games, our campers were immersed in storytelling in ways that supported language, listening, and literacy.

All of the activities were thoughtfully planned and led by our amazing graduate students in audiology, who brought creativity, energy, and expertise to every moment. They were intentional about creating an environment where every child's communication needs are supported and where listening and spoken language skills can naturally grow through meaningful experiences. A special thanks to UW's McBurney Disability Resource Center for providing American Sign Language (ASL) interpreters who helped bring our stories to life.

By blending engaging stories with real-world experiences, we created a space where kids could explore, connect, and grow—all while building communication skills and having FUN. 💬🧠🎨

We’re so proud of these amazing kids and grateful to the families who joined us this summer. ❤️

📢 Exciting News!
Renovations are underway in our classroom, B62 and we’ve just installed a Hearing Loop System! 🎧💡

This powerful technology allows students with hearing aids or cochlear implants to connect directly to the teacher’s voice—reducing background noise and making learning clearer and more accessible for everyone. 💬✨

Creating inclusive learning environments is a priority, and this is one more step toward making sure every student feels heard and supported. 💙

Elders have the highest rates of concussions and traumatic brain injury (TBI) when compared to other age groups, with falls being the leading cause of all TBIs in the United States. Clinical Professor Kim Caul and SLP graduate students Rina Nikolic and Izzy Rottier had the opportunity to provide resources and educate seniors at a recent health and wellness fair serving Dane County and surrounding communities. The students talked with seniors about their increased risk for concussion, concussion symptoms, and the importance of seeking medical care. UWSHC's Concussion Services were promoted, including the benefits of seeking out interventions if concussion symptoms persist.

Anyone who has experienced a concussion and needs help with symptom management, is struggling to return to work or the classroom, or is having difficulty accessing services post-concussion should schedule an appointment with UWSHC's Concussion Services at: https://csd.wisc.edu/clinic/concussion-services/
