Online Workshop
Teaching Children with Hearing Loss
to Listen and Talk
Getting Started
When you first begin working with a child with a hearing loss, it can be overwhelming. The child usually has minimal or no spoken language, so all areas of the child’s spoken language development need to be addressed. Given that you spend a limited time with the child, knowing which skills to emphasize to get the most progress in the least amount of time is crucial. This is what this workshop is designed to help you do. It focuses on the beginning listening period - when the child has minimal or no spoken language. Strategies for children who are newly identified, who are late starters, or who are switching modalities will be discussed.
- Learn which skills are crucial to focus on in the beginning stages.
- Learn how to promote early auditory attention to meaningful sound, while building auditory comprehension.
- Learn strategies for the late starter or the child who is switching modalities.
- Learn the beginning skills parents need, to be able to communicate with their child.
- Learn how to develop a ‘verbal habit’ in the child.
- Earn ASHA CEUs (and LSLS hours)!
