He was also a practicing licensed audiologist who saw patients weekly in the audiology clinic he directed which was selected by Family Circle magazine in 1987 as the Best Place in the United States for Hearing Problems. He has been called the "Teacher's Teacher" and succeeds in making complicated auditory concepts accessible to parents, teachers, hearing aid specialists, as well as his Audiology and Physician students.

....Cued Speech has substantial data showing that it enables deaf children to attain competency in English at the level of hearing students grade by grade. I know of no other system that enables this to happen.... As more and more young deaf persons achieve academically because of this system, deaf leaders will need to re-examine their options.
