Dr. Sandra Clark-Lewis, clinical professor of Audiology in the department of Communication Disorders (link), was awarded $14,749 for her project, “Auburn Audiology Outreach in Guatemala,” which will provide hearing and middle ear screening to impoverished children attending three inner city schools in Guatemala City. Her project also received $3,800 matching funds from CLA. Department of Communication Disorders alumna, Dr. Martha Miller also acquired for this project a donation of 40 digital hearing aids which will be given to the Guatemalan children identified with educationally significant hearing loss. Dr. Clark-Lewis will travel to Guatemala with six of the Audiology doctoral students to provide services to these 500 children.
