Book excerpt: The purpose of this guide is to address the knowledge areas and skills impacted by hearing loss and to describe assessment procedures to identify the adverse educational effect of hearing loss in these areas. It is not the intent of this guide to include all assessment instruments that could be used to identify the areas of strengths and needs of students with hearing loss. It has been developed to provide a framework for school teams and professionals specializing in the education of students with hearing loss to use when assessing the unique needs of children who are deaf or hard of hearing. These assessments can be used as part of the evaluation process to determine eligibility, as tools for developing specific goals and objectives, or as a measure of pre- and post-instruction performance. Expected development in the expanded core knowledge and skills is also a significant consideration when determining the impact of the hearing loss on school performance and will therefore be integrated into the assessment process described.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Millions of Americans experience some degree of hearing loss. The Social Security Administration (SSA) operates programs that provide cash disability benefits to people with permanent impairments like hearing loss, if they can show that their impairments meet stringent SSA criteria and their earnings are below an SSA threshold. The National Research Council convened an expert committee at the request of the SSA to study the issues related to disability determination for people with hearing loss. This volume is the product of that study. Hearing Loss: Determining Eligibility for Social Security Benefits reviews current knowledge about hearing loss and its measurement and treatment, and provides an evaluation of the strengths and weaknesses of the current processes and criteria. It recommends changes to strengthen the disability determination process and ensure its reliability and fairness. The book addresses criteria for selection of pure tone and speech tests, guidelines for test administration, testing of hearing in noise, special issues related to testing children, and the difficulty of predicting work capacity from clinical hearing test results. It should be useful to audiologists, otolaryngologists, disability advocates, and others who are concerned with people who have hearing loss.

Download or read book Advances in the Spoken Language Development of Deaf and Hard of Hearing Children written by Patricia Elizabeth Spencer and published by Oxford University Press. This book was released on 2005-09-01 with total page 400 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Throughout history there have been efforts to help deaf children develop spoken language through which they could have full access to the hearing world. These efforts, although pursued seriously and with great care, frequently proved fruitless, and often only resulted in passionate arguments over the efficacy of particular approaches. Although some deaf children did develop spoken language, there was little evidence to suggest that this development had been facilitated by any particular education approach, and moreover, many, even most deaf children--especially those with profound loss--never develop spoken language at all. Recent technological advances, however, have led to more positive expectations for deaf children's acquisition of spoken language: Innovative testing procedures for hearing allow for early identification of loss that leads to intervention services during the first weeks and months of life. Programmable hearing aids allow more children to make use of residual hearing abilities. Children with the most profound losses are able to reap greater benefits from cochlear-implant technologies. At the same time, there have been great advances in research into the processes of deaf children's language development and the outcomes they experience. As a result, we are, for the first time, accruing a sufficient base of evidence and information to allow reliable predictions about children's progress that will, in turn, lead to further advances. The contributors to this volume are recognized leaders in this research, and here they present the latest information on both the new world evolving for deaf and hard-of-hearing children and the improved expectations for their acquisition of spoken language. Chapters cover topics such as the significance of early vocalizations, the uses and potential of technological advances, and the cognitive processes related to spoken language. The contributors provide objective information from children in a variety of programming: using signs; using speech only; using cued speech, and cutting-edge information on the language development of children using cochlear implants and the innovations in service provision. Along with its companion volume, Advances in Sign-Language Development of Deaf Children, this book will provide a deep and broad picture of what is known about deaf children's language development in a variety of situations and contexts. From this base of information, progress in research and its application will accelerate, and barriers to deaf children's full participation in the world around them will continue to be overcome.

Abstract: ABSTRACT Children with hearing impairments experience particular difficulties in the acquisition of early communication skills and music therapy has been used to help them with language and communication. A 4-year-old hearing-impaired girl, who was integrated in a mainstream preschool and her normally developing classmates, participated in a music intervention program over a period of 26 weeks. This program included the normal elements of music teaching such as singing, playing instruments, moving to music, listening to music, and creating music as well as auditory training and speech and language training. Another hearing impaired child in a comparable preschool served as a control and participated in normal preschool music activities during the intervention period. Both children were assessed on their speech and language skills at prior to the intervention (Time 1) and after it (Time 2). Results indicated that the language scores of both children with hearing impairments were higher at Time 2 than at Time 1. However, the hearing-impaired child who received the music intervention program showed better progress than the other hearing-impaired child. Her teachers demonstrated creativity and showed greater flexibility and adaptability in curriculum planning. Furthermore, the positive outcome helped her parents rebuild their confidence. They were more motivated to share information with teachers and got themselves involved in her learning. The implications of the findings for preschool children with hearing impairments are discussed. ii DOI: 10.5353/th_b3554039 Subjects: Preschool music - Instruction and study - China - Hong Kong Hearing impaired children - China - Hong Kong - Education Preschool children - China - Hong Kong - Education
