Tele-therapy Success Stories
This presentation will examine tele-therapy aural habilitation for children who are deaf or hard of hearing. Videotaped tele-therapy sessions will demonstrate activities, goals, and outcomes for these children whose ages range from 12 months of age through 3 years of age.
The goal of this presentation is to outline the following: 1) definition and rationale for utilizing tele-therapy, 2) the components of a typical tele-therapy session, 3) goals and outcomes of a tele-therapy service delivery model for children with hearing loss, and 4) results of a survey to identify families’ perceptions on utilizing tele-therapy aural habilitation.
Outcomes suggest that these children are achieving receptive language and auditory skills in the average range and an increase in expressive language skills over time. Tele-therapy sessions are successful in facilitating progress on goals and objectives in the areas of auditory skills, vocabulary, length and complexity of utterances, pragmatics, and literacy. Videotaped sessions will highlight progress and outcomes.
