Abstract: |
Parents and caregivers seek appropriate family-centered, early intervention services that support the learning and communication needs of their child(ren) with hearing loss. Unfortunately, well-trained early intervention professionals may not be in their community. By using a system of tele-intervention, appropriate services can be delivered that may not be available locally. This presentation will explore one such model program providing services focused on listening and spoken language. |

Dr. K. Todd Houston is an Associate Professor in the School of Speech-Language Pathology and Audiology at The University of Akron. His primary areas of research include spoken language acquisition in children with hearing loss, strategies for enhancing parent engagement in the intervention process, Auditory-Verbal Therapy, and telepractice. He directs the Telepractice and eLearning Laboratory (TeLL), an initiative to evaluate clinical practices in the area of distance service delivery in Speech-Language Pathology. In fall 2012, he and his project co-director, Dr. Lori Pakulski, were awarded a personnel preparation grant from the US Department of Education to train future speech-language pathologists in strategies that support listening and spoken language in young children with hearing loss. This project, totaling more than $1,000,000 over five years, will train 40 graduate students through joint coursework, service learning, practica, and field-based experiences provided by both the University of Akron and the University of Toledo.
