Abstract: |
The CARE Project Inc. (Counseling Aural Rehabilitation and Education) authored by Johnnie Sexton, AuD, focuses on helping families and professionals understand the importance of the grief process associated with hearing loss. After attending the full CARE Project Workshop in 2011, clinical faculty began to implement a 2 hour presentation/workshop through the weekly Clinical Education Seminar for graduate students completing practicum in Aural Re/Habilitation. Pre and post surveys were completed in order to document students’ perceptions regarding the grief process, counseling families, and processing of emotions. Content of questions included: students’ feelings regarding comfort level with counseling parents and children, students’ prior training and counseling experience. Questions also included their feelings regarding the importance of counseling families regarding hearing loss, acceptance, their individual ability to counsel families, and their knowledge of the grief process. Several semesters of outcomes, benefits, and results will be highlighted that include Audiology and Speech-Language Pathology graduate students. Participants will learn the effectiveness of the CARE Project in training individuals about counseling and the acceptance of hearing loss |
