Dual Language Learning for Children With Hearing Loss

This workshop is intended for professionals who work with children who have hearing loss and come from families that are bilingual or do not speak the majority language. Topics covered will include assessment considerations that need to be made when completing a case history, determining the language of assessment, and administering and interpreting formal and informal assessment. Discussion on intervention will include determining the language or languages of intervention, models of intervention, and implementing strategies that facilitate successful bilingual learning. Case studies will be provided. Additionally, technology to best meet a child’s audiologic needs and assessment and rehabilitation materials will be reviewed.
