Event Details
Hearing occurs in the brain; the ears are the way in. The purpose of this session, therefore, is to provide a brief overview of auditory neural physiology and to propose two, family-friendly counseling narratives for connecting the dots between the brain, hearing loss, technologies, and the child’s development of language and literacy. The goal of this narrative counseling is to increase the child’s wear-time of technology, which is a critical variable in obtaining a listening and spoken language outcome.
Learning Objectives:
At the conclusion of this seminar the participants will be able to:
- Summarize what we now know about the development and integration of the auditory brain.
- Detail two, family-friendly counselling narratives for connecting the dots between the brain, hearing loss, and use of technologies in order to increase the child’s wear-time.
- Explain how auditory brain development is the foundation of listening, language and literacy for all children.
- Discuss the hearing health care provider’s role in supporting a child’s literacy development.
