The Educational Consultant Training Program (ECTP) is a collaborative effort of The Children's Hospital of Philadelphia, Smith College and The Clarke School for the Deaf designed to prepare teachers of the deaf to improve the educational services provided to children with cochlear implants. The emphasis of the ECTP is on preparation of experienced teachers of the deaf who have limited background in the Auditory-Oral approach to better serve children (particularly, very young children) who use a cochlear implant. Each intensive training session includes eight participants who are fully supported to spend six weeks in Philadelphia during either the winter or summer ECTP session. At the completion of the ECTP, each participant receives a certificate and is awarded nine Smith College credits (3 graduate courses). Since its inception in 2003, the ECTP has trained 44 teachers of the deaf from more than 30 States.
