Dr. Erber, the developer of
HELOS and communication therapy, has a background in ergonomics/engineering, psychology, education
of hearing-impaired children, and rehabilitative audiology. He
was a Research Associate at Central Institute for the Deaf (St. Louis, MO, USA)
between 1970-1981, where he studied speech communication and developed many assessment
and rehabilitation procedures for children with impaired hearing.
