I have disagreed with my districts decision to graduate hearing impaired students out of SLP services at an early age for meeting their goals. I always believed the goals should change with age. This lecture proves that.

I gleaned much from listening to the course. The course hand-outs were difficult to follow ...due to my own learning disabilities, having a transcript of the information would have been helpful in taking the exam for further understanding and reference. The information was incredibly helpful as a veteran in the field who has worked students whose primary mode of communication was ASL to a student group who is now focussed on listening and spoken language. This was incredibly both insightful and impactful to my instructional methods. Thank you.

The information shared was useful, however is impractical for consistent use in clinical setting. The variety of assessments used and the results of students with hearing loss provided excellent information on areas that our children are having difficulty with. Overall excellent info that was thoroughly informative, only wish there were a few more clinical implications!

As a provider in the school system to preschool children with hearing loss i found this webinar quite interesting and relevant. While many of my children are quite low in their language scores and thus qualify for services, I appreciated learning about the different language measures that can be used with those children whose language levels appear age appropriate, since we would like to qualify as many children as possible to maintain that good language.

This is great research to back up what I am seeing. I will have schools dismiss children from speech when I can see there are still holes, but they claim everything is "average". It often falls on the hearing itinerant to catch these and work on them somewhat behind the scenes.

The analysis of varying scores when comparing standardized assessments with actual true use of linguistic markers in spontaneous conversation was fascinating. It is an idea that makes complete sense; however, can be lost in the "hustle and bustle" of everyday practice.

This course can increase an Audiologist's ability to collaborate with the SLP or other professionals in the educational environment by building understanding of the impact of hearing loss on language skills. The presenters shared evidence-based practices and concrete research, then took it to the next level by giving suggestions for clinical practice. Concepts they shared apply to a variety of age groups, although the research was performed on preschoolers.
