Medical Director, Dr. David Kelsall, as the recipient of their Service
to Mankind Award. This prestigious award is given annually for outstanding
community service performed by a non-Sertoman on a volunteer basis.
Dr. Kelsall was recognized for the countless charitable programs he has launched and which he actively runs for the local, regional, national and international hearing impaired communities. These wonderful services include the CNI Cochlear Kids Camps, the Cochlear Implant Assistance Program, the CI Angel Network, the Hearing Aid Assistance Program, the CNI Teen Thing, and the World Hearing Network. All of these programs are real-world demonstrations of Dr. Kelsall's commitment to "helping to end the silence." You can read more about each of these worthy endeavors on this website.
We salute you, Dr. Kelsall, for your spirit of giving and for the work
that you do!!!!
Allison
Biever, Au.D., CCC-A, of the Rocky Mountain Cochlear Implant Center,
was
awarded the Families First Award at the Colorado Symposium on Deafness,
Language and Learning. Ms. Biever was nominated by
families who cited her ongoing efforts to provide social opportunities
for teens and youth who have cochlear implants. These events have expanded
to include any in this age group who are deaf or hard of hearing. The
joy of watching the kids learn to accept their communication diversity
as they meet and socialize with each other has become the hallmark of
"The Teen Thing."
Allison has also been instrumental in the Cochlear Implant Kids Camp sponsored by CNI (Colorado Neurological Institute), and her many accomplishments have been lauded by Colorado AGBell. In addition to these endeavors, Allison regularly works with families and their children of all ages in her role as an audiologist. Allison humanizes this very "medical" experience, befriending parents and kids alike with her passion for what she does and her easy-going, child- and family-centered manner.
Congratulations, Allison Biever, and thank you for the important work you do!
The Colorado Chapter of AGBell presented Allison Biever with the LaFawn
Biddle Award for Outstanding Service. Allison was recognized because
of her passion as a pediatric
audiologist. She is an exceptional audiologist who meets the needs of
her patients who either wear hearing aids or cochlear implants. Allison
is an awesome listener and provides a smile and support to her patients
and families. She is willing to spend hours working on technical problems
and even arranged equipment loans so a young client could wear a CI BTE
model for a homecoming dance instead of her bulky body worn processor.
Allison has been a leader in helping to organize the AGBell / CNI teens.
She has worked with Linda Ellis and Ken Klaus to set up social activities
and community service projects for the teens with young adult mentors
who are deaf/hard of hearing.
