18th ANNUAL EARLY HEARING DETECTION & INTERVENTION MEETING
March 3-5, 2019 • Chicago, IL
Developmental Index of Audition and Listening, Version 2
The purpose of the DIAL-V2 was to update the original DIAL and validate the ages selected for the various auditory milestones. The original DIAL was created in 1999. At the time, the DIAL was created using current literature related to normal child development and professional expertise. This investigation was designed to update the DIAL in order to account for changes in expected auditory milestones given new technology (e. g. , mobile phone technology, accessibility of a variety of electronic communication, etc. and to validate the expected milestone ages in the 21st century.
- Identify auditory-related milestones for children by age
- Describe the importance of identifying auditory-related milestones for children with hearing loss
- Apply the DIAL-V2 into their practice and/ or when working with parents/ other professionals
