Auditory Learning and Language Guide
Research has shown that the earlier a child is identified with hearing loss, fitted with an appropriate listening device and enrolled in early intervention services, the more likely that child will obtain age appropriate language abilities when she or he enters the first grade. Furthermore, the development of technology; digital hearing aids and cochlear implants has permitted children to learn spoken language through listening. Learning to listen in order to develop spoken language is a developmental approach, based upon typical developmental stages of normal hearing children. Children who have a hearing loss need the same listening, learning and language foundations as children who can hear, regardless of their chronological age. Auditory Learning Guides help us establish listening and language goals, plan therapy sessions, document progress, educate families and professionals and help us see the BIG picture. The ALLG (Auditory Learning and Language Guide) is a therapy tool that is designed on one page to help professionals and parents develop listening and spoken language. It covers five areas of auditory learning at four skill levels from beginning to advance. Activities and checklists are presented within each skill level. Specific listening strategies are provided and clinical examples are presented via videotape.
- identify and implement audition and spoken language goals for children in early intervention.
