hearing screenings, hearing screenings, and more hearing screenings!!!

We did so many hearing screenings at a nearby school today...We had 71 passes and 23 referrals! The children were extremely well-behaved. The staff were so grateful to have their ears checked because it is very expensive for them to do so on their own. A SLP professor, Susan Lenihan, went to speak to the minister of health to advocate for the implementation of other audiology/speech type services for Costa Rican children. We are hoping the universal newborn screenings will happen soon here! Then we went to a gellato place....YUM!!!! It was the equivalent of Creole Creamery, but gellato! So many flavors! Trying to visit a teacher by herself tomorrow to go over some autism DIR/Floortime strategies. I will have a short break (1 day) when Lauren gets here on Monday.
