This week, Nancy Rushner, M.A., CED, an Early Childhood Education specialist on Deaf & Hard of Hearing program from the University of Hawaii is on island to conduct workshops for American Samoa’s service providers, as part of the Early Hearing Detection & Intervention project. Moe Masoe and Nometa Sene-Moleni of ASPIRC were fortunate to be invited by its close partner, Helping Hands, to this important training today at Helping Hands conference room from 9am to 10:45am.
