Abstract: |
A child’s personality can affect adaptation to hearing loss. Pyschological, biological, and social factors place children with hearing loss at higher risk for challenges than children with typical hearing (Kaland, M. & Salvatore, K. (2002, March 19.) The ASHA Leader. The Psychology of Hearing Loss. ) Parents are key to helping their child achieve positive pyscho-social development, yet they commonly report feeling unprepared. Research has cited the benefits of positive father involvement in parenting young children.
This session will focus on a ‘man-to-man’ interactive dialogue with fathers and other male caretakers to answer their questions about raising a child with hearing loss from the personal experiences and wisdom of a successful male who has grown up with moderate to severe bilateral sensori-neural hearing loss. This session will offer real life ideas on how to promote positive social development for a child with hearing loss and raise a child who is ready for the game of life.
