Pediatric Audiology: What You May Not Learn in School!
Pediatric audiology is both an art and a science. There are students who desire to become a pediatric audiologist based on experiences with children outside the field of audiology. Training programs provide education in the diagnostic and management aspects of pediatrics, but may not incorporate the "tricks" to working with children in a clinical setting. This panel presentation from skilled and seasoned pediatric audiologists will focus on ways to achieve successful test outcomes and habilitation goals with young children. We will discuss the day-to-day workings of a pediatric practice and the things you may not learn in school.
- Participants will be able to apply the strategies discussed in this session to their daily clinical practice.
- Participants will be able to identify unique strategies for evaluating and engaging young children in an audiology setting.
- Participants will be able to discuss ways they may implement modifications to test procedures when working with young children.
