Employment Opportunities

At the CCHAT Center, we offer professional development courses taught by industry-leading speech-language pathologists, teachers of the deaf, AG BELL Listening and Spoken Language Specialists (LSLS) and audiologists who specialize in working with children who are deaf and hard of hearing.

Certified by the Continuing Education Board (CEB) of the American Speech-Language-Hearing Association (ASHA), our courses provide high-quality instruction in those subjects that matter most to speech pathologists, language therapists, and audiologists – especially those who treat younger patients.
