Anfini's strength:
global networking
why Global networking?
BECAUSE cochlear implants have been around for a long time and yet there is a BIG GAP in the knowledge of each country regarding this new technology.
Therefore, children using cochlear implants in Japan are said to be 15 YEARS BEHIND regarding the information offered in the leading countries. Children in Japan can't make full use of this expensive technology even with the assistance of the Japanese government.
Eyeglasses offer a similar assistance to cochlear implants, but THE DIFFERENCE is...
You can see the moment you put glasses on but AFTER attaching the cochlear implant,
YOU CAN'T HEAR AND SPEAK.
BECAUSE it's the BRAIN that needs to be trained, NOT THE EARS.
Even if the cochlear implant gives you sound, your brain must be TRAINED to interpret that sound.
This is WHY training and education is so ESSENTIAL with people who need cochlear implants.
In Australia I learned Techniques for Raising Vocal Language for Children with Cochlear Implants( AVT). It's completely different from the deaf education we had received in Japan. It's still good, but if you ask AVT therapist for language training, There are
TWO MAJOR PROBLEMS.
1. FEE
Since it is not covered by insurance, it can be as expensive as 20,000 yen each session.
2. FREQUENCY
No matter how good the therapist is with just one hour of training once a week, language can not be attained.
Therefore...
Anfini takes advantage of the global networking under the supervison of a specialist. and we use world-class expertise & spoken language training.
We have created an online college where everyday parents can learn!
