Document Summary
Minimize reverberation by installing things that absorb sound like carpets. Coaching parents on how they should talk to their kids. Lecture 6: treating speech sound disorders in children with hl. Make sure child is in an optimal listening environment (includes selection and fitting of technology) Engage the child in verbal communication and activities as often as possible (make these meaningful); minimize tv time-if there is a commercial, turn tv down and talk to child about what you just watched. Introduce new vocab during every day activities; kids with hearing loss need more exposure to the words. Expose child to a variety of experiences to add to vocab. Work on several targets in each session; sometimes we work on one target at a time functional/play based. If speech sounds, work on them frequently but briefly. Make sure child feels successful when coming into and when leaving the session.
