Listening and Language Development

rved. After the fitting of hearing devices, parents, family members and teachers start to become actively involved in managing the child with hearing loss. Active participation at this stage requires parents and teachers to facilitate listening and language development. This is an exciting time for both the parent and the child with hearing loss as there is much that the parents can do throughout each day to stimulate listening and develop language skills.Parental involvement is one of the strongest predictors in a child developing spoken language, as they are the primary source of language that the child will be exposed to. Regardless of whether there is regular access to speech and language therapy, or any other form of therapy, there is much that parents and family members can do at home.
Preparing for school: Literacy and Numeracy
$ 6
Age-appropriate listening and language skills are required for any child to succeed at school. At school, more advanced developmental skills, namely literacy and numeracy skills, are developed. A pare
...
nt can already start to introduce basic literacy and numeracy concepts to a child as of birth. Parents do not always realize that preparing the child beforehand to learn each of these skills, is vital. Before children go to school, they need to acquire certain skills that will help them to read and write. This is the joint responsibility of the parents and the child’s educational team, such as the teacher of the deaf/hard of hearing, early intervention provider, speech-language therapist, and/or preschool teacher.Emergent literacy: Before teaching reading and writing skills, a child needs to know the processes and concepts involved in reading and writing. Emergent literacy skills discussed in this lesson include literacy socialization, phonological awareness, as well as printed word and alphabet knowledge. Reading is the process through which meaning is attached to written symbols and letters. It is about comprehending and actively responding to the content.Writing is the use of symbols to communicate thoughts and ideas. It is a way to represent language in a visual and tactile form. The development of the different components of emergent literacy, reading and writing is discussed in this lesson.
The Nature of Inclusive Education
$ 6
Choosing the most appropriate school for a child requires collaboration between the parents and the school. Together, they should decide which will be the best option for the child. This module define
...
s the concept of inclusive education, as well as the barriers which a child with hearing loss could experience. However, these barriers can be overcome through an attitude of determination, with ongoing training and self-enrichment on the part of the teacher and the broader community. Overcoming the barriers is imperative for inclusion to be successful. Inclusive education starts with parents advocating for their children with school management.Inclusion exposes a child with hearing loss to individualized teaching strategies. It requires additional support from family and the school team, which usually includes the classroom teacher and the teacher of the deaf/hard of hearing and may also include the speech-language therapist and other special education support staff in the child’s school.The purpose of inclusive education is to ensure that all children gain access to knowledge and skills that will make them socially and economically independent. The main requirement for inclusion is that the school must be willing to accept the challenge and adapt.
Teaching Methods Used in an Inclusive Classroom

A child with hearing loss has been accepted in a mainstream school. Now inclusive education starts. This means that traditional teaching methods used, need to be adapted to accommodate the specific ne

eds of all children. This is done through differentiation. Differentiation is the process by which differences between children are accommodated to achieve the best learning results possible.An inclusive classroom can be effectively managed and facilitated, using differentiated teaching methods and an Individual Education Plan (IEP).These two strategies will define the necessary knowledge, skills and attitude that teachers require to include a child with hearing loss successfully in a mainstream school. This module explains how a child with hearing loss, who has similar academic potential as his peers, can learn and develop within a mainstream school. It describes how teachers can overcome barriers associated with learning, it gives practical guidelines on how to use differentiated teaching methods, and how to implement and use an IEP.
Additional Classroom Support

The provision of differentiated teaching methods is not sufficient to support a child with hearing loss adequately in a mainstream school. Additional classroom support needs to be provided as well. Al
...
l of the classroom supports mentioned are very important to consider for students with hearing loss. What support and the degree of support needed should be based on assessment information that has been tailored to identify the specific educational performance needs of students with hearing loss.The services or supports provided will most often consist of specialized instruction detailed on the student’s Individualized Education Plan (IEP) and/or accommodations identified to address communication access issues of these students. Pull-out services by special educators, one-on-one with students or in small groups are usually necessary to meet specific needs. Push-in services where educational specialists work in a team-teaching model along with the classroom teacher or provide small group instruction in the classroom can often address some of the students’ language issues, social needs, and academic challenges.Regardless of current common practice, the array of supports described in this module should be considered by the school team, followed by discussions to determine intensity of intervention required for appropriate progress, who will provide these supports and services, and how best to meet the student’s educational performance with the goal of keeping pace with cognitive peers in the classroom.
Music and the Classroom
$ 6
In education, music plays a very important role. Music can remediate and habilitate when taught in a knowledgeable, loving and supportive environment. A research study conducted by the German Socio-ec
...
onomic Panel (2013), says this about music lessons: “Music improves cognitive and non-cognitive skills more than twice as much as sports, theatre or dance.” The study found that children, who take music lessons “have better cognitive skills and school grades and are more conscientious, open and ambitious.”Milestones in music and language can be measured from birth to nine years. These milestones are an indication of the child’s ability to hear (input), give meaning (process) and respond (output) to sound. Any parent or professional who has an interest in the influence of music on a child’s development will benefit from this module.Music will have an influence on the development of all children, regardless of the presence of impairment. For the purposes of this module, emphasis will be placed on the child with hearing loss, or a child with normal hearing and auditory processing disorder.
