Course details

Music for Children and Adolescents with Hearing Loss 9
Facilitated by Dr Chi Lo, Postdoctoral Researcher, Australian Institute of Health Innovation Academic Casual, Department of Linguistics Hearing CRC. This workshop focuses on the benefits of music for listening and learning for young children through to the adolescent years. It explores music and hearing loss, the role of music in supporting wellbeing and social interaction, and practical strategies to support student engagement and participation.
1 PM - 3 PM
The Functional Listening Index-Paediatric®(FLI-P®)
- Monitoring Listening Skills for Positive Progress
Functional listening skills underpin language, literacy, communication development and social competence. How can we closely track functional auditory skill development? The Functional Listening Index - Paediatric (FLI-P®) is a new research-based tool designed to assist the tracking and monitoring of a child’s listening skills in everyday life scenarios. This workshop will explore functional listening, use of the FLI-P® tool, and provide strategies to closely monitor and track functional listening skills in children to foster positive progress.
