17th ANNUAL EARLY HEARING DETECTION & INTERVENTION MEETING
March 18-20, 2018 • Denver, CO
3/20/2018 | 3:00 PM - 3:30 PM | A Comparison of Language Outcomes and Predictors of Success across Children with Bilateral Loss, Unilateral Loss, Cochlear Implants, and Spanish-Speaking Parents | Granite A-C
A Comparison of Language Outcomes and Predictors of Success across Children with Bilateral Loss, Unilateral Loss, Cochlear Implants, and Spanish-Speaking Parents
Early intervention programs for children who are deaf or hard of hearing serve families with a wide variety of different characteristics. Understanding how subgroups of children vary in terms of language skill and risk factors for language delay is critical to optimal service delivery. In this presentation, we will describe the language outcomes of children from four different groups, specifically those with 1) bilateral hearing loss, 2) unilateral hearing loss, 3) cochlear implants, and 4) families who speak Spanish. Commonalities and differences in outcomes across these groups will be highlighted. We will also discuss child, family, and intervention characteristics that are uniquely associated with more successful language outcomes within each group. Risk factors for language delay within each subgroup also will be presented. This information will be based on over 3,000 assessments obtained from 14 different states that participated in the National Early Childhood Assessment Project (NECAP).
- Compare the language outcomes of children with bilateral hearing loss, unilateral hearing loss, cochlear implants, and those from Spanish-speaking families
- List risk factors for language delay for four different subgroups of children (bilateral loss, unilateral loss, cochlear implant users, Spanish speaking)
- Describe characteristics that are associated with more successful language outcomes for four different subgroups of children (bilateral loss, unilateral loss, cochlear implant users, Spanish speaking)
