The Confident Kids series empowers children with hearing loss to navigate different social environments by teaching them practical strategies for building healthy relationships. Aimed at children between 4-5 years of age, it comes equipped with a parent education component to help caregivers support their children in everyday life.
The Talk Together series of courses is for families of children newly diagnosed with hearing loss. In the introductory Listening Foundations program, caregivers are empowered to make informed decisions about their child’s listening and speaking journey through knowledge-sharing and connecting with other parents.
This course focuses on strategies for supporting young people who are d/Deaf or have hearing loss within the high school setting. With inputs from students with lived experiences, we will discuss key aspects of hearing loss and how these impact learning in the classroom.
This session aims to identify how communication outcomes for children with hearing loss can be improved by monitoring a child’s ‘listening trajectory’. Using this information to bridge gaps between audiological assessments, language outcome measures, and auditory listening checklists. Case studies will be used to demonstrate how functional listening progress can be a much earlier predictor of language outcomes and used to flag and guide progress.
This course focuses on school transitions for students with hearing loss; from preschool to primary school, primary school to high school, and from year group to year group. It explores the impact of hearing loss within a school environment and provides practical strategies to best support student learning and engagement.
