Title: The Auditory Lesson Plan: Let's Start Listening
Location: Youngstown Hearing and Speech Center
Presenter: Heather Rose, M.A., CCC-SLP, Cert. AVT
“In order to teach children who have
hearing loss to listen and verbally communicate in 2006, we need to ensure
that access to sound is optimized. Children need to be using equipment
that is providing the best signal in order for sound to reach the brain.
Clinicians need to know how to troubleshoot equipment and be able
to train parents and paraprofessionals. Treatment goals should not be
separate entities between ‘auditory training’, speech, language and
cognitive development. With appropriately functioning
equipment, listening should be the foundation for all objectives.”
-Heather Rose
At this workshop,
participants will: learn to troubleshoot both hearing aids and cochlear
implants; familiarize themselves with basic speech acoustics; learn how an
auditory lesson plan is developed; familiarize themselves with auditory
hierarchies and the Ling system for development and remediation of speech;
and learn how to use materials to implement goals. There will be a
“make-it-take it” component as Heather discusses various materials for the
auditory lesson plan.

Topic:
Smooth Transitions & IEP’s That Work
for You
PRESENTERS:
Trelesa Marriott & Beth Schmidt Robb, M.A. in
Speech Language Pathology, CCC-SLP
Trelesa is a parent of two children with hearing loss, both of whom use a
cochlear implant to hear and communicate verbally. Trelesa is a founding
member of a parent support group for families of children with hearing loss
in Northwest Ohio. She is a Project Parent Mentor with the Auditory Options
Project of Ohio.
Beth is a trainer/consultant for the Auditory-Options Project of Ohio. Beth
helps to facilitate successful auditory outcomes for children in the birth
to 3 population of children who are deaf or hard of hearing.
Join us for an informal
evening with some experts on children with hearing loss. Learn how to
advocate for your child and to achieve outcomes that lead to appropriate
educational services for your child with hearing loss. In order to maximize
the early years of auditory brain development for children who have hearing
loss and are learning to listen and verbally communicate, we need a strong
team approach to implement an effective & realistic plan for your child’s
education.
YOU as the parent are the
key member of your child’s planning team.
At this workshop,
participants will learn:
|
why a parent is the key member of the
Individualized Education Plan team
|
|
why you need to be informed BEFORE the IEP
meeting
|
|
what to take with you to your child’s IEP
meeting
|
|
who is highly qualified to teach your child
|
|
how to find a program to meet your child’s
unique needs
|
|
what you need to know about
your child BEFORE the meeting
|
|
how to make gentle but effective factual
statements
|
|
how to write an effective vision statement
that points your IEP in the direction you want it to go.
|
|
language that works to write effective
objectives and goals
