Speech Acoustics to help deaf pupils
Presented on Monday, 28th January 2019
Content
This one-day course in speech acoustics aimed to increase understanding about auditory potential for speech and language.
Participants had the opportunity to:
- Learn how to read the audiogram diagnostically in order to understand the possibilities and limitations of a child's hearing.
- Develop skills in analysis of speech errors and how these relate back to hearing.
- Study "red flags" case examples of children who are not developing linguistically and relate this back to hearing.
- Consider how to equip parents with this essential knowledge so that they too can become experts in ensuring that their child has all they need to develop spoken language.
