The Picture Perfect Transition to Preschool
The transition from home based services to school based services can be uncertain for families of children with hearing loss. Parents often wonder what they need to look for in an appropriate placement for their child. The Picture Perfect Preschool is a parent checklist created by MED-EL Corporation as part of their BRIDGE Aural Rehabilitation Materials. For parents, this checklist acts as a guide in observing preschool placements and determining an appropriate educational setting. For educators, the Picture Perfect Preschool is a guide for best practices for children with hearing loss. This interactive workshop will allow for dialogue and video modeling as participants look through the Picture Perfect Preschool Checklist. The presentation will walk through a day in the life of a preschooler and highlight the language opportunities throughout the day. Additional topics will also include home based activities that can prepare a child for a successful preschool experience.
- identify key questions to ask a preschool placement to determine appropriate fit for a student with hearing loss.
- effectively use the checklist to understand language opportunities throughout the preschool day of a child with hearing loss
