I am so excited to begin my journey today as President of this remarkable organization. I feel extremely honored to be chosen to continue the critical work of Mrs. Tracy in helping parents open the doors of communication for their young deaf and hard-of-hearing children throughout the world. I look forward to working with parents, alumni and some of the world’s foremost experts in the field at John Tracy Clinic as we reach out to a new generation of children with hearing loss and their families. At the same time, I am eager to meet our many partners and supporters who make our mission possible.

John Tracy Clinic is supporting California's AB 2072, a bill by Assembly member Tony Mendoza that would require the State Department of Education to develop an informational pamphlet for the parents of newborns and infants identified as deaf or hard of hearing. Part of John Tracy Clinic's mission is to ensure that all parents are given the opportunity to learn about all of the possibilities for their children with hearing loss. If you agree and live in California, please consider asking California Governor Arnold Schwarzenegger to sign this bill.

Gloria H. Hoversten, MA, CCC-A
February 21, 1923—August 23, 2010

With deep sadness, we report that Gloria Hoversten passed away last Monday night. Gloria was a giant force in our field, though a quiet and unassuming one. As project director on the Test of Auditory Comprehension and the Auditory Skills Curriculum of the Auditory Skills Instructional Planning System, she brought together the expertise of teachers, audiologists, and researchers, including Daniel Ling and Doreen Pollack, to create the world’s first auditory skills curriculum for children with hearing loss. She applied the latest theories, theories that are still current, on speech acoustics and speech perception to the development of auditory skills.
