Families’ communication choices for children with hearing loss
This week Charles Sturt University published a media release profiling Kate Crowe's research into families' communication choices for children with hearing loss. http://news.csu.edu.au/latest-news/education/ripple/families-communication-choices-for-children-with-hearing-loss. She found that parents' choices are influenced by advice from professionals, their children's access to
hearing aids and cochlear implants, children's intervention experiences,
children's future opportunities, practicalities of communication, and creating a
sense of belonging for their children. The research was published in an article titled Communication
choices: Translating research to practice for professionals
working with children with hearing loss which recently won the Journal of Clinical Practice in
Speech-Language Pathology (JCPSLP) Editor's Prize for 2014.
