Early Intervention Practices for Children With Hearing Loss

Abstract: Early identification and appropriate intervention services for children who are deaf or hard of hearing significantly increase the likelihood of better language, speech, and social-emotional development. However, current research suggests that there is a critical shortage of professionals trained to provide early intervention services to deaf and hard of hearing infants and toddlers. In an effort to address the shortage, Illinois State University designed an interdisciplinary program aimed at providing the cou… Show more

“…To provide good auditory access, there is an absolute need for providing a suitable sensory aid (hearing aid or cochlear implant) as early as possible. Good auditory access is a key component prior to any successful auditory rehabilitation or early intervention [10].

Acoustic highlighting involves saying a target word louder than the other words in the sentence or saying a phoneme louder than the other phonemes in a word (Leutke-Stahlman, 1992;Martin-Prudent et al, 2016;Simser, 1993). If a child says, "I eating cheese" a teacher could use acoustic highlighting by stating, "I am eating cheese" and emphasizing the omitted word "am".…”

“…If the child does not respond, a visual cue is added to the spoken utterance by a picture, natural gesture, or sign. Next, the child hears a presentation of the information one more time (Garber & Nevins, 2012;Martin-Prudent et al, 2016;Simser, 1993). For instance, if a teacher says, "Tommy, go sit at the table," and there is no response from the child, the teacher may then show Tommy a picture of a child sitting at a table while saying, "Tommy, go sit at the table."…”
