Professional Preparation for Listening and Spoken Language Practitioners
Edited by K. Todd Houston, Ph.D., CCC-SLP, LSLS Cert. AVT, and Christina B. Perigoe, Ph.D., CCC-SLP, CED, LSLS Cert. AVT
Some of the key factors that impact the communication development of a child with hearing loss include the knowledge, skills, and experience of the professionals serving the child and family. As technology and early intervention services have improved, programs preparing professionals to work with children who are deaf or hard of hearing and their families have had to adapt to keep pace. Without access to well-trained and competent professionals, children with hearing loss will not fully achieve the communicative potential that is now possible. This monograph shines a light on the issue of professional preparation and the need for more preservice and in-service training in the fields of audiology, speech-language pathology and education of the deaf.
