ABOUT MARION'S WAY
Nan Thompson interacts with a Marion's Way preschooler during Beach day.
Marion’s Way is an intensive summer language enrichment program for children who are deaf or hard of hearing incorporating a language-rich environment and instruction with a focus on developing listening and spoken language skills.
Theme-based learning experiences incorporated into language, cognitive, and literacy activities for children will support social, emotional, and pre-academic development. Technology will optimize auditory access.
Parent participation and training will support the carryover of these skills to home and family environments. Applications will be considered on a first come first serve basis based on eligibility requirements.
