Advances in early identification, hearing devices and intervention have allowed many children with hearing loss to develop oral language skills commensurate with their hearing peers. However, teachers and parents continue to report many learning challenges these children face during the critical language learning years. Continuing on from the Beyond
Speech multidisciplinary workshops in 2020 and 2021, this year’s online workshop offers new research findings on language processing and learning by children with hearing loss, with implications for classroom learning. The workshop will also bring together perspectives from teachers of the deaf, audiologists, speech pathologists, and parents to discuss current issues and future directions.
