13 Evidenced-Based Practices
Refers to an approach in which current, high-quality research evidence is integrated with practitioner expertise and client preferences and values into the process of making clinical decisions.

14 In making clinical practice evidence-based, audiologists and speech-language pathologists need to…
recognize the needs, abilities, values, preferences, and interests of individuals and families to whom they provide clinical services, and integrate those factors along with best current research evidence and their clinical expertise in making clinical decisions; acquire and maintain the knowledge and skills that are necessary to provide high quality professional services, including knowledge and skills related to evidence-based practice; evaluate prevention, screening, and diagnostic procedures, protocols, and measures to identify maximally informative and cost-effective diagnostic and screening tools, using recognized appraisal criteria described in the evidence-based practice literature;

15 In making clinical practice evidence-based, audiologists and speech-language pathologists need to…
evaluate the efficacy, effectiveness, and efficiency of clinical protocols for prevention, treatment, and enhancement using criteria recognized in the evidence-based practice literature; evaluate the quality of evidence appearing in any source or format, including journal articles, textbooks, continuing education offerings, newsletters, advertising, and Web-based products, prior to incorporating such evidence into clinical decision making; and monitor and incorporate new and high quality research evidence having implications for clinical practice.

16 Consensus-Based Practices
Given the lack of evidenced-based practices, many teachers and clinicians focus on consensus-based practices Ones that we agree are good practices to implement with DHH students even though we lack sufficient scientific evidence to support their use Potential difficulties with consensus-based practices? Funding Outcomes Prognosis Others?

17 Educational Assessment
Reasons for Assessment Identify student needs Plan instruction Evaluate student progress Evaluate instructional programs Document student’s achievement Evaluate professionals Evaluate schools and school districts Categorization of Assessment Purpose Diagnostic for special education eligibility and program planning Curriculum-based for progress monitoring Method of Assessment (Luckner and Bowen 2006)

18 Progress Monitoring Process of collecting ongoing data to monitor skills that are important for students to be successful in school Data are then used to adjust instruction to increase performance Performance benchmarks Need to be conducted frequently to monitor progress in core academic subjects Measures may occur: Weekly Biweekly Monthly As needed Curriculum-based measurements (CBMs) A method teachers use to find out how students are progressing in basic academic areas such as math, reading, writing, and spelling.

19 Expanded Core Curricula
These topics expand on the required school curricula to address specific instruction in areas that are unique to deafness and hearing loss Challenge 1 Adding these curricular areas Challenge 2 Who will teach them Where will the instruction be fit into the school day

20 Expanded Core Curricula For Students Who Are Deaf and Hard of Hearing
Communication and Language Development All children have the right to an effective & efficient communication system as a precursor to language development Family Education Effective communication & language development cannot occur without the support & involvement of the family. Audiology Students are empowered when they understand their hearing loss. Technology Technology improves quality of life, provides access, and is vital for emergency information. Page 481

21 Expanded Core Curricula For Students Who Are Deaf and Hard of Hearing
Transition DHH students and their families need specialized information about life skills, vocational rehabilitation, social security, and laws. Social Interaction Skills Incidental learning through audition is hindered when there is a hearing loss, whether it is mild or profound. Deaf Studies Students may benefit from studying the history, language, and contributions of the Deaf community. Advocacy Students and their families need knowledge in areas such as requesting reasonable and appropriate communication access, requesting interpreters, advocating for legal rights, accessing services after high school, ADA, Section 504, and IDEA

22 Teaching Spoken Language Normal, everyday interactions
Incidental Interacting Embellished Interacting Adults are teaching children every time they interact with them, whether or not they are aware of it “Worm on the sidewalk” example Expand upon the incidental interaction Think of this as… Incidental seizing-of-the-teachable-moment is embellished interacting, or embellished teaching by the adult.

23 Incidental Teaching Child is 2 ½ years old with hearing loss
Parent and child take a walk. They come upon a live worm on the sidewalk. The child points and says, “Look! Worm!” Child continues to look at the worm The parents bends down and replies, “Yes – I see it. Look! The worm is wiggling!” Parent is teaching child: What child says is meaningful and of communicative value to the parent That people respond to each other in conversations The response is generally related to the semantic content of the previous speaker’s utterance Teaching present progressive form (be + verbing) Auditory event – parent is within 18 inches of the child’s hearing aids, child is looking at the worm not the parent’s face

24 Embellished Teaching Part 1 - Incidental
The child points and says, “Look! Worm!” Child continues to look at the worm The parent bends down and replies, “Yes – I see it. Look! The worm is wiggling!” Part 2 - Embellished Parent - “Wiggle, wiggle, wiggle. The worm is still wiggling!” (Pause for child to respond) Parent – “Oh look! There’s another worm that’s wiggling.” (Pause while the child finds another worm) Parent – “Oh – you found another one! Is that worm wiggling?” (Pause.) Parent – “Yes, it is! Oh, that’s funny. Can you wiggle like a worm?” (And so on) In the parent’s mind… Wiggle has become a vocabulary goal Parent is providing varied, repetitive exposure to that goal and attempting to elicit it

25 Learning Contexts & Teaching Approaches
Incidental Learning Embellished Informal Teaching Semi-Formal Teaching Formal Teaching Happens in normal, everyday events and interactions Seize the moment Adult directed, pre-planned activities Adult directed Should occur at home and school Use of strategies to embellish the normal situation Developmentally appropriate Deliberate, direct, methodical Specific goals and objectives Use of strategies Typically done at school Happens in traditional educational setting All learner types Delayed & remedial learners School age remedial learners

26 Types of Learners Developmental Delayed Remedial
English Language Skills Within 1 year of typically developing peers 1-2 yrs behind peers Greater than 2 yrs behind peers, scattered language skills Learning/Teaching Context Informal Learning Primarily semi-formal, also need informal Formal learning, with generalized to informal Educational Placement Fully mainstreamed by preschool/kindergarten Mainstreaming by kindergarten may be a challenge due to language gap One hour/per day/per year; social mainstreaming

27 Observation Checklists
The Preschool/Kindergarten Placement Checklist from the Placement and Readiness Checklist (PARC) Assists parents and early intervention providers in conducting systematic observations of classrooms to select the most appropriate placement for each child Checklist functions to set up expectations Student Checklists Should be used by the IEP team to identify a supportive and accessible classroom Also help to identify training needs that can be addressed before placement Appendix 13-D

28 Effective Practices in Closing Achievement Gaps (Schwartz, 2001)
State and District Roles Development and implementation of accountability standards Dissemination of existing research-based instructional programs Dissemination of information about effective instructional strategies Early Childhood Provision of high-quality preschool programs Provision of family literacy programs School Climate Identification and identification of every student’s potential Maintenance of a safe and orderly school School Organization Smaller classes in earlier grades Equitable grouping of students Teaching and Learning Provision of increased instructional time in reading, mathematics, and other basic skills Provision of supplemental individualized education supports Provision of learning resources

29 Intervention Issues The most effective ingredients of intervention for young children who have hearing loss include: Beginning intervention when the child is very young Following a normal developmental sequence Having parents be the primary teachers of their children Educational Programs Differ on several important dimensions Chapter 6 in Flexer’s book

30 Intervention: 4 Basic Premises
1st Premise Begin intervention with children who have hearing loss when they are very young Research/evidence based Sensitivity of the brain’s neural pathways Verbal and academic deficits seen when intervention begins later 2nd Premise Help the children learn to listen and talk Keep as much of the world open to them as possible 3rd Premise Help the parent help the child learn spoken language through listening 4th Premise Acquiring spoken language through listening, a child with a hearing loss will generally follow a normal developmental path Flexer page 162 2nd chapter 7 3rd chapter 9 and 10

31 Differentiating Dimensions of AR Programs
Public and Private Close inspection of the programs reveal that they vary on several theoretical and methodological dimensions Distinctions: 1) The nature and manner of parent involvement in the child’s learning can be different in different programs. 2) Programs vary in the emphasis placed on normal everyday interactive events as the context within which the child will learn language, versus an emphasis on the child learning language from participating in adult-directed teaching activities. 3) Programs and interventionists also vary in their use of sense modalities in providing spoken language input, both in normal everyday conversations and in more adult-directed activities. Flexer 164

32 Distinction 1 – Parent Involvement
# of sessions per week Whether or not parent is in the therapy room or observing from outside Who is the person who interacts primarily with the child? Parent or therapist? Location of the session Parent group meetings and activities outside of the sessions Nature and amount of information supplied to the parent about how to help the child outside of the intervention sessions

33 Distinction 2 – Language Learning Environments
Programs differ on the extent to which they employ either model Developmental model Remedial model

34 Distinction 3 – Use of Sense Modalities
Three likely avenues of sensory input for spoken language Audition Visual Tactile

35 Curricula/Training Programs

36 Program Selection Audition – Audiologic Re(Habilitation) Literacy
Look for a program in which: Children can maximize their auditory potential all day where they are expected to learn to listen and speak Spoken language is the primary language The curriculum prepares children for mainstreaming

37 Program Selection… Ensure the program offers:
Individualized Family Service Plan (IFSP) for children birth to 3 yrs or Individualized Education Program (IEP) for children 3 yrs+ Quality and professional education of the staff, including playtime supervisors, counselors, and others Curricula that prepare the child for transitions A social and physical environment that supports the child’s efforts to learn to listen and speak Comprehensive audiological management

38 Requirements of AR Program
Qualified Professionals from the AR Team Individual sessions Parents and clinician are partners Focus on listening/audition Case manager – clinician or audiologist

39 Requirements of AR Program
Typical Habilitation Session Session begins with a discussion about progress and any problems encountered during the previous week Session continues according to the lesson plan Goals: audition, speech, language, communication, cognition Developed concurrently Session ends with the therapist discussing strategies for generalization and integrating the goals from the lesson into everyday activities at home and in the community

40 Requirements of AR Program
Classroom and Therapy Rooms Teaching Resources Dedicated, quiet and non-reverberating room Child friendly environment Video camera Storage for toys (out of sight) *May not be possible… Resources: Toys, games, puzzles, and books Basic concepts: quantity, shapes, colors, time, size, weight, temperature Lesson Plan: Audition, speech, language, cognition, and communication goals Parents need a notebook to record activities and goals Video the sessions Good evaluation tools to see and measure progress

41 Requirements of AR Program
Goal Setting: Long-Term Goal Setting: Short-Term Age appropriate speech and language Effective auditory comprehension Intelligible speech Communicative competence Mainstream education Graduate from an AR program into a regular school when they are age appropriate in their speech, language, and communication Follow developmental sequence based on needs of the individual child: Audition Use the 5 Levels of the Auditory Learning Guide (ALG) Sound Awareness Phoneme Level Discourse Level Sentence Level Word Level Speech, Language, Cognition, and Communication goals

42 Requirements of AR Program
Planning the Weekly Lesson Use developmental model to set your goals, and remedial as appropriate Based on goals in the 3-6 month plan Complete record of activities Will become the diagnostic raw material for when the child’s progress will be reviewed Include Ling 6-7 Sound Check Learning to Listen Sounds Sounds that are associated with toys commonly used by babies and very young children Many of these sounds contain acoustic properties that are significant in perception of speech

70 Remember… Not every child with severe to profound hearing loss does learn to talk, sometimes in spite of the best efforts of parents and professionals. Let’s do what we can! Reasons for lack of satisfactory progress in spoken language can include: Late diagnosis Poorly fitting and/or poorly maintained hearing aids Impoverished educational program Lack of appropriate sensory aids for those with no measureable hearing Insufficient or ineffective parental involvement Additional disabilities Additional problems in learning None of those factors by itself precludes the possibility of the child learning to talk, but a combination of several of them can mitigate against it.
