An SLP’s Personal Discovery as a Parent of a Deaf Child – What Else Should be Added with Speech?
A licensed Speech Language Pathologist working in an educational setting and her grown deaf daughter, now an educational specialist and a mother, share their personal journey and discuss current applying research findings related to optimal linguistic and cognitive development for deaf children. Learn how a new mother of a deaf child first facilitated her daughter’s speech development. Her daughter reaped benefits of early language milestones, accelerated growth in vocabulary and grammatical development. She also developed an early love for reading with better phonological awareness, and expansion in the auditory cortex and cognitive control processes. We will discuss how much does an additive communication and language approach contributes to improved academic performance.
This presentation will walk the audience through their journey as both a parent and child, and speech-language pathologist and a teacher. They will share the multiple benefits of the approach they used, in linguistic, phonological, cognitive, and academic areas of growth. You’ll enjoy the ability to see applied research through multiple lenses: a parent, a SLP, a deaf adult, and a teacher!
