Two things that I found interesting after I reviewed the website the American Speech-Language-Hearing Association are, how there uses the word “Habilitate” to describes the kind of service that a child with hearing loss need. There doesn’t use the word “rehabilitation” because in many case young children may not be able to talk, but they can train in listening well using a hearing aid. Each child with hearing problems needs an individual attention according to his needs, the children learn first recognize familiar voices. Also, how the communication difficulties often lead to social isolation and poor self-concept. Children have difficulties to build their social skills because they are not able to communicate and interact with peers, so it is important the young children have specialized intervention earlier. The self-concept is building when I child recognizes his skills and parents and caregiver create a positive emotional bond with the young child through warm and caring interactions. When this interaction doesn’t exist children with communication difficulties can have poor self- concept.
