Basic Genetics of Auditory Disorders
Option(s):
eWorkshop
CEUs:
0.05
The rapid advancement in the genetics field impacts a number of medical disciplines, including audiology. Audiologists should be familiar with both the basic concepts of genetics and some of the latest clinical advances regarding inherited hearing disorders. In this presentation, we'll focus on patterns of genetic inheritance and some of the gene mutations that lead to hearing impairment (e.g, Connexin 26 related non-syndromic hearing loss, autosomal and X-linked disorders such as Waardenberg and Usher syndrome, and mitochondrial DNA mutations).
Bridging the Gap From the Clinic to the Classroom
Option(s):
eWorkshop
CEUs:
0.1
As school-aged clients leave the audiology clinic and return to their classrooms, a clinical audiologist may wonder if school personnel know how to use hearing aids and other hearing assistive technology to benefit the student in his or her educational environment—especially if there's not a school-based audiologist in the school district. In this session, we'll focus on the essential collaboration between clinical audiologists, school-based audiologists, school-based SLPs, and school personnel as it relates to children with hearing loss and other auditory disorders.
Children with Minimal/Mild Hearing Loss in Educational Settings
Option(s):
eWorkshop
CEUs:
0.1
Numerous studies have shown that school-age children with minimal/mild hearing loss (MMHL) may experience difficulties in a variety of areas; however, other studies reveal performance levels similar to those of peers with normal-hearing on some measures; while other studies suggest that children with MMHL may "catch-up" in specific areas as they get older. Because findings across studies are not straightforward, children with MMHL may be overlooked and/or the difficulties related to their hearing loss may be minimized, potentially influencing expectations, behaviors, and progress in a number of developmental areas. In this presentation, we'll address the difficulties children with MMHL experience in complex listening environments.
Classroom Acoustics and the Use of Classroom Audio Distribution Systems
Option(s):
eWorkshop
CEUs:
0.1
Poor classroom acoustics may significantly reduce speech recognition of children with normal and impaired hearing. To facilitate learning, wireless assistive technology is often provided for students with hearing loss. Classroom audio distribution systems may also add significant benefits, particularly for those with learning challenges. We'll discuss the special considerations for interfacing personal assistive technology with classroom technology, ensuring the desired signal is not compromised. We'll also discuss the tools used to document the benefits students receive from these types of assistive technologies, including rating scales and assessments of speech recognition in noise.
Comprehensive Intervention for Central Auditory Processing Disorders
Option(s):
eWorkshop
CEUs:
0.1
In this presentation, we'll focus on treatment and management approaches for individuals with central auditory processing disorders [(C)APD]. We'll provide practical, clinically applicable information about the underlying rationale for deficit-specific intervention, as well as specific environmental accommodations, compensatory strategies, and direct remediation techniques that are effective with various types of (C)APD. By using a case study approach, you'll be guided through diagnosing to selecting and implementing treatment and management activities.
FM Technology for Cochlear Implant Users: Reaching for the Stars
Option(s):
eWorkshop
CEUs:
0.1
In this presentation we'll discuss a protocol for optimizing a CI user's performance with FM technology. We'll discuss current information based on recent research studies and personal clinical experience that includes: 1) the benefits of dynamic FM with contemporary CI systems, 2) the benefits and limitations of directly-coupled and induction neckloop personal FM systems (from different manufacturers) for recipients using contemporary CI systems, 3) the pros and cons of personal FM versus soundfield FM technology, and 4) real-world, practical recommendations for enhancing success with FM technology in educational settings.
From Content Standards to IEP Goals
Option(s):
eWorkshop
CEUs:
0.1
Many students who are deaf and hard of hearing require habilitation or special instruction in language, communication, social, and self-advocacy skills. But removing these students from class to address these supplemental areas reduces class instruction time. By assuring that IEP activities are linked to content standards, students are provided additional opportunities for learning that are relevant to both the required content standards as well as the current content being addressed in class. In this session, we'll demonstrate how to develop goals and activities that link to the Common Core State Standards.
Literacy in Students With Cochlear Implants
Option(s):
eWorkshop
CEUs:
0.1
Cochlear implants and the rehabilitation processes associated with them positively influence the development of speech perception and literacy skills in many children with severe-to-profound hearing losses. In this presentation, we'll review data and communication outcomes associated with pediatric users of cochlear implants as they approach young adulthood, while discussing implications for therapy and educational systems.
Managing School-Aged Children With Cochlear Implants
Option(s):
eWorkshop
CEUs:
0.15
Despite the fact that many students with cochlear implants are mainstreamed in general education classrooms, these children still require classroom adaptations and special considerations. In this presentation, we'll discuss evidence-based tools and strategies for managing these students.
Managing Students With Auditory Neuropathy/Dys-synchrony
Option(s):
eWorkshop
CEUs:
0.1
Individuals with auditory neuropathy/dys-synchrony (AN/AD, ANSD) demonstrate variation in auditory and other characteristics. While speech understanding, particularly in noise, is generally affected, physiologic responses are key to appropriate identification and monitoring over time. Various mechanisms underlie AN/AD and several areas of discovery provide insight into the observed variation.
Response to Intervention: A Model for Supporting Students with Auditory Disorders
Option(s):
eWorkshop
CEUs:
0.1
Response to Intervention (RTI) applies to all students in the public education system and is designed to improve performance by ensuring that students receive effective instruction and educational practices. Although RTI was not designed for students with sensory impairments, its principals do benefit these students.

Successful Transitions to the Real World: Using GAP and Apps to Connect
Option(s):
eWorkshop
CEUs:
0.1
Success in the "real world" and being an effective self-advocate are key outcomes of transition planning; however, teens and young adults who are deaf or hard of hearing may have difficulty with self-advocacy and success because of communication barriers.
Targeting Improved Educational Outcomes for School-Aged Students With Hearing Loss
Option(s):
eWorkshop
CEUs:
0.1
Legislative mandates for serving students who are deaf or hard-of-hearing have not changed dramatically over the past few years; however, when interpreting and implementing these regulations there continues to be variability between and within states. In addition, changing demographics, universal newborn hearing screening, and improved technologies are increasing the variety of student needs that impact how, where, and who receives services and supports. In this session, we'll provide an overview of educational legislation that's relevant for students with hearing loss and an update on student and provider demographics.
