• Documenting performance of children who are Bilingual and DHH
• Intervention techniques, current research and practical suggestions for children and families learning more than one language

This course will address two current topics: supporting children who are DHH and use listening and spoken language in the mainstream and addressing the needs of children who are DHH with more than one language in the home. Being low incidence, hearing loss is a disability not routinely seen on an SLP’s caseload. There may be one or two students in the course of a career, and each could have drastically different needs. Several factors affect a student’s access, and later success, in the classroom. Audiological factors and the current climate for students with hearing loss will be discussed. From the viewpoints of an audiologist and a teacher of the deaf, strategies for success will be described for immediate application.The second part of this course will allow professionals, interventionists, families and others to facilitate acquisition of spoken language for multilingual children who are DHH. Participants will learn the tools to characterize bilingual DHH learners, develop appropriate spoken language targets and gain knowledge about current teaching and assessment tools.

Learner Outcomes

After this course participants will be able to …

• Describe the current landscape for children with hearing loss in mainstream settings
• Compare / contrast today’s new technology with older technology of yesteryear
• Identify strategies to employ in the therapy room and classroom for successful implementation
• Identify 3 characteristics revealed in research studies to be positive correlates with success in children using spoken language who are DHH learning multiple spoken languages
