Hello Everyone!
On, Tuesday, April 23, 2013, I presented an educational session through AudiologyOnline (sponsored by Oticon Medical) about Microtia and Atresia discussing all options that are currently available along with sharing my own experience with Microtia and Atresia after my youngest daughter was born with Microtia and Atresia of her right ear.  This presentation/session is FREE and available to anyone who is willing to learn more about Microtia and Atresia.  The session is titled:  Microtia and Aural Atresia:  A Parent’s Perspective and can be found under the course number:  #22454.  This course has been recorded and is available at the following archived link:  http://www.audiologyonline.com/audiology-ceus/course/microtia-aural-atresia-parent-s-22454

Thank you!
