Promote Language and Listening Development in Children with Hearing Loss
US version of the eBook available on request
Hearing is critical to the development of speech, language and listening skills. Children with hearing loss do not only need to wear appropriate amplification devices like cochlear implants or hearing aids, but they also need specific intervention to promote listening, speech and language development.
This book gives parents and family members practical tips on how to support a child’s language and listening development using fun home-based activities. It also explains how daily routines can be used to facilitate learning.
Successful development of language and listening skills relies greatly on parent involvement and home practice – this book is a great tool to assist parents in accomplishing that.
Inclusive Education for Children with Hearing Loss
Hardcopies available from ETI (SA) and Supporting Success for Children with Hearing Loss (USA, UK and Canada)
All children with hearing loss should have access to resources and be exposed to an environment where they can learn to listen and develop spoken language. With age-appropriate language development, children with hearing loss can attend and succeed in mainstream schools. It all starts with empowering parents and teachers on how to work with a child with hearing loss.
The aim of this book is to eliminate misconceptions about children with hearing loss – specifically that children with a hearing loss cannot learn spoken language or be accommodated in a mainstream school.
