In this day and age, we are dealing with a vastly different
population of children with hearing loss, a population that never
before in history have we had. With this new population, whose
hearing loss is identified at birth, we can now prevent the
developmental and communicative effects of hearing loss that were
so common just a few years ago. With these babies and young
children, we can now work primarily from a developmental and
preventive perspective rather than from a remedial, corrective one.
What has happened in the field of hearing loss is revolutionary.
This second edition of Developing Listening and Talking, Birth to
Six remains a dynamic compilation of crucially important
information for the facilitation of auditorally-based spoken
language for today's infants and young children with hearing loss.
This text is intended for graduate level training programs for
professionals who work with children who have hearing loss and
their families (teachers, therapists, speech-language pathologists,
and audiologists.) In addition, the book will be of great interest
to undergraduate speech-language-hearing programs, early childhood
education and intervention programs, and parents of children who
have hearing loss. Responding to the crucial need for a
comprehensive text, this book provides a framework for the skills
and knowledge necessary to help parents promote listening and
spoken language development. This second edition covers current and
up-to-date information about hearing, listening, auditory
technology, auditory development, spoken language development, and
intervention for young children with hearing loss whose parents
have chosen to have them learn to listen and talk. Additions
include updated information about hearing instruments and cochlear
implants and about ways that professionals can support parents in
promoting their children's language and listening development.
Information about preschool program selection and management has
been included. The text also features a revised auditory
development checklist.A new appendix provides an important and
useful tool for professionals who are interested in AG Bell
Academy's Listening and Spoken Language Specialist Certification
Program (LSLS) -- LSLS Cert. AVT and LSLS Cert. AVEd. This appendix
lists the competencies required for the LSLS, and references each
chapter of the book with regard to those requirements. This book is
unique in its scholarly, yet thoroughly readable style. Numerous
illustrations, charts, and graphs illuminate key ideas. This second
edition should be the foundation of the personal and professional
libraries of students, clinicians, and parents who are interested
in listening and spoken language outcomes for children with hearing
loss.
