This course presented by Central Institute for the Deaf is designed to teach speech-language pathologists and teachers of the deaf techniques for capitalizing on auditory information made available to children with a cochlear implant and/or hearing aid. This course features an overview of the CID SPICE 2nd Edition auditory training curriculum for children ages 2+. Topics include strategies for speech perception/auditory development and methods to improve perception from detection through comprehension of connected speech. The workshop includes video demonstrations and interactive activities.
Participants will be able to: • contrast auditory learning with auditory training • describe the benefits of auditory training • perform informal assessment of speech perception skills of students who use a hearing aid or cochlear implant • develop appropriate goals and objectives for maximizing auditory speech perception skills in children who use cochlear implants and/or hearing aids • develop appropriate activities for achieving auditory training goals and objectives • identify different methods of data collection • analyze children’s errors to choose or adjust teaching strategies to develop children’s auditory skills
