Assistive Technology for Hearing Impairments KWC.EvolveSchool

Karen Walstra speaks to Fadziso Fisher, from Edit Microsystem, we'll discuss Assistive Technology for Hearing Impairments

In 2012 the South African government introduced a mandatory hearing-test program for school children, the implementation is not progressing as planned due to a lack of experts. Many learners require assistive technology for hearing. I learnt from Fadziso Fisher an Assistive Technology Specialist and Speech and Language Therapist at Edit Microsystem’
