CLA-5003 Module on Pediatrics
Pediatric Audiology
Hearing assessment and management for infants, young children and people with developmental delays is crucial for minimize the developmental effects of hearing loss in these populations. This course will provide students with an understanding of the development of auditory behavior, overview of Early Hearing Detection and Intervention programs, developmentally-appropriate physiological and behavioral test techniques, and provision of amplification. Case studies and video examples will be used to reinforce key concepts.
Auditory Processing Disorders
This course is designed to provide students with a firm grasp of the neurobiological science underlying auditory processing disorders in children and information essential for the diagnosis and management of auditory processing disorders (APD) in pediatric populations. Students enrolled in the course will learn about how to diagnose auditory processing disorders (APD) and evidence-based intervention strategies. The course also introduces students to risk factors and special considerations in assessment and management of APD in older children and adults. After successful completion of this course, students should be able to use their skills and knowledge to develop auditory processing services to children and adults.
