If Only You Would Listen to What I Say: Building Successful Partnerships
Successful partnerships are essential to the development of successful programs of intervention and education for children who are deaf or hard of hearing. All relationships—be they personal or professional—take time to develop. But, what happens when you don’t have enough time? What about philosophical differences? How can we partner when we don’t see eye-to-eye or agree about what needs to be done? Agreeing on a common goal is the beginning. Listening to one another—really listening—is essential.
