Description

Humor is considered a core component of resilience, well-being, and social competence. But research shows delays in verbal humor development in children with hearing loss. Join us for a practical workshop, exploring the latest research and effective strategies for enabling humor appreciation and creation that support children’s social and emotional development.

During this session participants will:

Explain the stages of verbal humor development from infancy to school age, and the building blocks required for mastery of each stage.
Discuss research relating to the impact of hearing loss on the development of verbal humor.
Apply strategies to support parents in nurturing their child’s verbal humor skills through everyday conversations and playful interaction.
