Translating and sharing research - videos and posters

Today I met with A/Prof Belinda Cash for our monthly mentoring meeting. One of the topics we discussed was how important it is to translate our Q1 journal articles to user-friendly formats (videos, posters, resources etc.).

Here are some examples of ways that we have translated our research into user-friendly formats

Communication choices: Translating research to practice for professionals working with children with hearing loss

The following manuscript has been accepted for publication.
Crowe, K., & McLeod, S., (in press, 2013 November) Communication choices: Translating research to practice for professionals working with children with hearing loss. Journal of Clinical Practice in Speech-Language Pathology.
The paper was submitted as a "clinical insight" paper and presents a translational review for speech-language pathologists of research undertaken by Kate Crowe during her PhD. Here is the abstract

When children are diagnosed with hearing loss, their families begin making many decisions, including whether their children will use speech or sign, and if they are multilingual, what languages they will use with their children. Parents frequently consult with health and education professionals concerning the best communication pathway for their children and their families. This paper is a translational summary of four studies investigating the communication choices of children (n=406) with hearing loss and their parents (n=792) who were participating in the Longitudinal Outcomes of Children with Hearing Impairment (LOCHI) study in Australia. Parents reported on the factors that were influential in their decision-making about whether their children with hearing loss would communicate using speech, sign, and/or more than one spoken language. The influences parents reported included advice from professionals, children’s access to speech through audition, children’s intervention experiences, children’s future opportunities, practicalities of communication, and creating a sense of belonging for their children.
