The Hearing Rehabilitation Foundation (HRF) is pleased to announce that it will host The Fourth Adult Aural Rehabilitation Conference in Portland, Maine, from May 14 - 16, 2007. This follows the great success of the first three conferences held in 2001, 2003, and 2005, which attracted participants from around the world.
If you register for this conference, you can be sure that you will receive a comprehensive international overview of adult aural rehabilitation. You will also have a unique opportunity to meet and talk with leading practitioners in this important field.
We plan to invite a faculty of distinguished international speakers, and are pleased to announce that Nancy Tye-Murray from Washington University, St Louis, has agreed to present a lecture at the conference. Watch the website for updates on our list of invited speakers. Additionally, we will have a large number of papers submitted by some of the most prominent international AR researchers and practitioners.
ISAC-07
Immediately following the conference, the HRF will be hosting the ninth International Sensory Aids Conference (ISAC). ISAC-07 will be held on Thursday, May 17, and will offer a wonderful chance for participants to catch up with the latest trends and advances in sensory aid development and use.
