Interprofessional Intervention to Teach Language of Academics

Thank you

This live web event has ended. Thank you for attending.

Description

School-age children who are deaf and hard of hearing have to keep up with the ever expanding language, literacy, and academic demands. Even those with a strong foundation in listening and language can benefit from additional support. An interprofessional intervention approach focused on language of academics will be discussed.

During this session participants will:

Explain language, literacy, and academic needs of school-age children who are deaf and hard of hearing and its link to hearing loss.
Identify opportunities for strengthening literacy and academic skills during listening and spoken language intervention.
Develop an action plan for planning and implementing intervention for school-age children who are deaf and hard of hearing.
