AUB-7006 Pediatric Audiology: Current Trends in Behavioral Assessment
This course reviews the fundamental principles in behavioral audiometric assessment of young children and patients with developmental delay/cognitive impairment. The cross-check principle, incorporating aspects of objective test measures with results of behavioral testing, will be used to help students develop clinical decision-making skills for pediatric patients with hearing loss. Clinical case examples will be provided as a tool to illustrate clinical practices. After successful completion of this course, the student should acquire a working knowledge that will facilitate the successful behavioral evaluation of hearing in children.
