Hi! My name is Monica Faherty and I received an M.S. in Speech Pathology from Indiana University of Pennsylvania and an M.S. in Education of the Deaf from Central Institute for the Deaf, Washington University, St. Louis. While at C.I.D. I received the Antoinette Dames Award for Academic Excellence. My over thirty years of experience have been as an SLP in Hearing-Impaired Programs in public schools, a school for the deaf, and private practices in Virginia and North Carolina. As a teacher of students with hearing loss, I developed a Parent-Infant Program, worked as a preschool teacher and currently am an itinerant teacher. Between 2002-2007 I completed all of the Auditory Verbal Training Modules, Practicum and Mentoring. In 2012 I earned the Achievement for Best Practices in Teaching Spoken Language to Children who are Deaf/HH awarded by the North Carolina Consortium for Deaf/HH.

In 2015 I was awarded 2 grants. The first was from the N.C. A.G.Bell Association to purchase 2 narrative language development programs and the second from a local education foundation to carry out a year-long vocabulary project using iPods with students with hearing loss with significant language and literacy delays.

Knowing the needs of my students, I designed these products to support the development of their independence, self-awareness and self-advocacy. I hope you are as excited about these products as I am! Please leave me feedback on them.
