An overview of long term therapy goals, short term objectives,treatment strategies, and activities used within treatment sessions for infants and toddlers will be shared. Lesson plan ideas will demonstrate fun ways to build auditory skills for beginning listeners. The early lesson plans with objectives will be expanded to include demonstration of activities which target appropriate goals for a child approaching
three years of age. Videotaped examples of treatment sessions with many developing listeners will be presented. Outcomes of successful intervention for young children with cochlear implants will be discussed.
