The United States welcomed Misael Restituyo from the Dominican Republic

United States Visitor Program: Misael Restituyo, Specialist in Audiology from the Dominican Republic

Partners for A Greater Voice sponsored Misael’s first U.S. based training experience in April 2012. The agenda included learning experiences in Educational Audiology and Listening and Spoken Language. Misael’s week-long visit included meetings and discussions with Auditory Verbal Communication Center in Gloucester, The Learn Center’s Educational Audiology Outreach Program, Mass Commission for the Deaf Case Management, Department of Public Health Newborn Hearing Screening, Children’s Hospital Audiology, HEAR My Dreams parent support group, Holy Family Hospital Audiology, First Church Mission Group in Boxford, and Ipswich Lions Club. Partners would like to thank many volunteers for welcoming Misael and teaching him a variety of subject matter that expanded his understanding of educational and hearing health. As part of the Greater Voice requirements, Misael developed an Action Plan that incorporated his learning experience and knowledge. His projects are underway!
