Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Most children with hearing loss attend neighborhood schools as the only student with hearing aids. These devices are the lifeline to their education yet malfunction is not uncommon. It is only the student who, with training, will be able to recognize and report when an issue occurs and can deal with it in the most timely manner. Building Skills for Independence in the Mainstream provides IEP goals and step-by-step materials to provide students with the skills they need to be independent with their hearing aids and to advocate for their listening and communication needs in the classroom. A hierarchy of expected skills by grade with specific activities for each has been included. Geared for students in preschool through elementary, this book will benefit parents and teachers who work with these children. The role of the student, classroom teacher and the teacher of the deaf and hard of hearing has been defined for each goal. The book has engaging color pages and also includes 51 downloadable files for easy sharing with classroom teachers and to facilitate skill-building by students.Purchase from http://successforkidswithhearingloss.com/buildingskills_independence

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: (Purpose) The purpose of this study was to investigate the effects of classroom sound field amplification on communication in kindergarten through grade 3 classrooms. (Methodology) Sixty classrooms were involved in the study; half of the classrooms were provided with sound field amplification. The flow of communication was measured through classroom observation. A qualitative component of the study involved semi-structured interviews and open-ended questions with teachers and students. In addition, acoustic measures were recorded using a sound level meter and hearing screenings of the students were completed. (Results) The flow of communication in amplified classrooms improved in most areas studied. Teachers and students felt that the amplification technology enhanced the learning process. Themes that emerged included improved signal to noise ratio in the classroom, enhanced learning, inclusion of students with special needs, more efficacious communication, and learning to use the technology. Acoustic measures showed that students were often working in below standard classroom listening conditions and hearing screenings revealed a prevalence of hearing problems between 12%-29%. (Conclusions) Amplification technology can be beneficial in elementary classrooms. [New Brunswick Department of Education funded this pilot research project.].
Download or read book The Effects of Sound field Amplification on Children with Hearing Impairment and Other Diagnoses in Preschool and Primary Classes written by Lois Ehrler Furno and published by . This book was released on 2012 with total page 286 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Effective learning occurs in auditory environments. Background noise is inherent to classrooms with recommended levels 15 decibels softer than instruction, which is rarely achieved. Learning is diminished by interference to the auditory reception of information, especially for students who are hard of hearing other diagnoses. Sound-field amplification (SFA) addresses the need for improving the noise to speech ratio while decreasing the distance between the sound source and the student's ear. The use of SFA amplifies the teacher's voice above ambient noise. This is accomplished by the placement of a receiver/amplification system in the classroom along with the teacher's use of a microphone and FM transmission device. Examination of previous research demonstrates the effectiveness of sound-field technology for elementary school children, establishing a rationale for using sound-field amplification with students who are of early childhood age. The purpose of this single subject study is to examine the effects of SFA used for children with hearing loss and additional diagnosed conditions enrolled in preschool, first, and second grade classes. The four focus students were matched with peers for further control, and studied for both displaying attending behaviors and rate of compliance following routine directions in order to demonstrate comprehension of spoken material. All participants demonstrated improvement in their attending behavior and compliance to directions. Focus students with hearing loss produced stronger results than their general education peers to the activation of the sound-field system. Teachers indicated that the sound-field system was beneficial to the focus students. All teachers reported they would use it again.

Download or read book School Based Audiology written by Cynthia McCormick Richburg and published by Plural Publishing. This book was released on 2011-10-28 with total page 289 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: School-Based Audiology takes the reader through the history of audiology in the schools, focusing on legislation that has shaped the face of school-based audiology as it is practiced throughout the United States. Core concepts involving academic achievement in students who are deaf/hard-of-hearing, classroom acoustics, hearing screening programs, hearing loss prevention programs, diagnostic evaluation protocols, hearing aid and FM system verification procedures, and classroom amplification are covered throughout the chapters. Concepts regarding collaboration with other school-based professionals and classroom accommodations and modifications are outlined and provide examples for real-life application. Each chapter of this textbook concludes with a list of vocabulary words and terms used in the educational environment. Practice management concepts not typically discussed in textbooks on this topic are presented, including minimum competencies, third-party billing, program outcome evaluation, mentoring, and preceptoring. Recently qualified and even seasoned audiologists will appreciate attention given to recent advances in areas like cochlear implants, auditory processing disorders, and auditory dys-synchrony as they relate to managing students with hearing loss. The varied and ever-changing roles of audiologists in the educational setting are described and highlighted with vignettes, or short personal statements describing real practitioners degree and training information, work settings, job description within their school districts, and day-to-day responsibilities. These personal accounts allow the AuD student an inside look at what audiologists do in the schools. Students are able to experience through these readings how different, exciting, and even challenging school-based positions can be. Instructors using this textbook will be able to supplement their lectures with the information described here, and will appreciate the structured approach wherein concepts contained in the chapters progressively advance in tune with the readers knowledge. Instructors goals will be met, as well as KASA requirements, because this textbook provides students the necessary knowledge needed to serve in an educational audiology position.
