Here is a link to the HLAA sessions on YouTube. I hope that will be helpful to you. https://www.youtube.com/user/hearinglossaa/videos Thank you to John Bishop who pointed out they were out there. HLAA is very understaffed, so it takes a village to get things done. Some of these You Tubes are old, but the newer ones are meetings that took place in June at what would have been the annual national HLAA convention. They were posted recently.

For the most part, the best 'platform' HLAA has, is through the meetings that are held by chapters in various places in the country. There is nothing better than getting together to learn and converse in a room where communication rules are followed and technology is used to create communication access. Meetings have real time captioning, which is referred to as 'CART'. That is the acronym for computer assisted realtime transliteration. It is done verbatim by a stenographer. All of the YouTube meetings include those captions.

Communication rules suggest that only one person speaks at a time, those who speak area asked to use the microphone that is connected to the assisted listening system and public address system in the room, etc.

I encourage you to attend a live HLAA meeting when we get past the pandemic. We are all very isolated right now. Zoom and Google Meet have given us an opportunity to stay connected. The upcoming meeting mentioned in my earlier post will likely be on the website or on YouTube within a month after it's recorded. I hope that helps you.
