In collaboration with Eduplex and the SACIG Rehab Task Team, Eduplex Training Institute is proud to present this comprehensive 3-day rehabilitation programme.

Led by international expert Dr. Uma Soman, attendees will explore evidence-based strategies to maximise the potential of children who are deaf or hard-of-hearing (DHH). From mastering amplification technology to fostering life-changing parental partnerships, this programme provides the practical tools needed to create truly inclusive learning environments.
