Study Notes
Aural Habilitation and Rehabilitation
- Aural habilitation helps deaf and hard-of-hearing children develop listening skills to use hearing devices and develop spoken language.
- Auditory access is crucial for developing spoken language.
- The brain reorganizes when deprived of auditory stimulation, other senses may take over the auditory cortex's role.
- Hearing devices are crucial to give the auditory cortex access.
- Auditory neural sensory deprivation is eliminated by providing auditory stimulation.
- Auditory pathways are stimulated for cognitive development.
- Children's auditory brains need access, stimulation, and development to use spoken language.
- Successful technology fitting eliminates auditory neural sensory deprivation and provides auditory information to the brain.
- Hearing devices must access the full frequency range in a soft enough level.
- Children benefit from multiple listening exposures and auditory practice.
- Age of intervention and pre/post-lingual deafness impact auditory brain development.
- 46 million words are heard by age 4.
Developing an Auditory Brain
- Auditory brain development requires auditory stimulation and access to information.
- Early intervention to help children catch up on missed listening time.
- Early intervention has a positive effect on language, achievement, and societal function.
- Neural plasticity in the brain is the principle behind this concept where the brain adapts to environmental factors.
- 10,000 hours of practice is required to master a skill.
Anticipatory Counseling
- Anticipatory counseling provides realistic expectations of what auditory development might look like in different situations.
- Evaluate the expected outcomes for children with hearing loss.
- Assess intrinsic and extrinsic factors.
- Intrinsic factors include age of amplification, pre/postlingual deafness and medical conditions
- Extrinsic factors include child behavior, compliance, support services, and family environment
AVT Session
- The AVT session consists of functional auditory, listening, language, and cognitive development.
- The use of controlled sounds is crucial and should be emphasized during practice.
Purposed Play
- Using play to facilitate auditory skills development is efficient as it is intrinsically motivating.
- Play should be targeted for appropriate auditory skills and the child's development level, age, and sensory needs.
- Activities are geared toward communication development.
- The goal of purposeful play sessions is to identify areas needing improvement and appropriate strategies to help a child develop auditory skills.
Auditory Distractions
- Auditory distractions need to be minimal to provide a conducive learning environment.
- Parents coaching should draw attention to environmental sounds for further auditory stimulation.
Language and Input
- Simplified, rather than telegraphic language, is better for providing input.
- Use of clear, simple language that mirrors the child's developmental level.
Developing Auditory Skills
- Detect, discriminate, identify, and comprehend sounds are different steps towards having a complete auditory experience.
- Different words can have similar auditory patterns and hearing aids need to be checked for efficiency.
Learning to Listen to Sounds
- Repetition of sounds is important for children's learning and should be used during learning experiences.
- Songs and nursery rhymes are good for auditory practice and make auditory experiences fun.
Stages of Play
- Children go through different stages of pretend play according to their age.
