    The SENCO would in turn speak to the child’s parents about their child’s development, and depending on the area of development concerned, suggest an assessment by an outside professional. The professional would in turn give the SENCO advice as to how the child should be supported in school in order to encourage development, this may involve the school providing support or it may involve the professional giving direct support. It is important that any needs are identified so that the correct support/intervention is given in order to prevent the development delay getting worse and spreading to other areas of the child’s development. Some of the interventions used are explained…

    I made CSUN’S Speech-Language Pathology graduate degree the goal that defined the trajectory of my undergraduate studies, work, and relevant activities. Having already spent three years at CSUN for my undergraduate studies in Speech-Language Pathology, I am certain it is the best place for me to continue my studies. The distinguished faculty at CSUN’s Speech-Language Pathology program not only possess field experience in all aspects of the profession, but go out of their way to ensure student success. Furthermore, CSUN’S program values both research and service. Ingrained in my mind is the memory of one of my professors telling us she provides therapy to underprivileged clients free of charge.…

    As we discuss communication disorders, it is important to discuss hearing disorders as well; it is essential to include hearing loss and deafness in the conversation in this course, seeing as these two things influence the ability to speak and communicate orally, seeing that hearing helps with acquiring and producing speech and language. A deaf person is a minority in the hearing world and often struggles to exchange information, ideas, feelings with those who are hearing. Thus, it is important to be informed about auditory issues and deaf culture. And the book is another resource to assist in gathering the knowledge on these issues and on the community to best serve individuals who are deaf, to remain cognizant of culturally diverse children and adults and to remain culturally competent. Train Go Sorry is also a reminder that deaf people are people first, just an everyone else who do not fit within the norm.…

    I have started watching a show on Netflix called “Switched at Birth” it is a show about two babies who were switched at birth, they find out when they are teenagers and move in together to get to know their other families. One of the daughters was sick when she was a toddler and became deaf as a result, because of this you are able to see the deaf community that she grew up in and how they view themselves. In this show they are not broken, or depressed because they have to sign. Instead they are grateful for the opportunity to be a part of such an amazing community, they show that it is true that you do not miss what you have never experienced. At one point during the show their school Carlton opens for not only for Deaf students but hearing as well.…

    “In deaf culture, deafness is just viewed as a cultural market and something that simply makes you different.” Providing a preview of what future events hosted by ASL Club will look like, the organizers spent some time discussing pressing issues in the deaf community such as the ongoing debate of whether or not to teach deaf children sign language. Parents are apprehensive about teaching their children sign language, in fear that they will never learn to speak orally. Others encourage children to learn the language so that they can communicate easily with people in the deaf community. “It’s debated about what is better for deaf children because some people think it’s better to just integrate them into hearing schools where they may not have that much access to their own language but if you’re more used to being around hearing people, you’ll get better at lip reading,” explained Abrams.…

    As a Speech-Language-Hearing undergraduate, I have had a combination of experiences and learning opportunities that have prepared me to enter Emerson College’s graduate school program and become a Speech Language Pathologist (SLP). In my personal life, I have always wanted to be part of a profession that serves the public. My mother is a social worker and my father is a public health administrator, which means serving others is in my blood and was modeled to me from a young age. Growing up watching their commitment to the well being of others inspired this commitment in me. I chose to pursue the career path of Speech Language Pathology based on my personal values and family background.…

    Adolescence Jr. High for Quincey was initially a pleasant experience. He took well to the cochlear implants, he could for the first time in his life hear his mother say, “I love you,” and hear his father tell him, “I am proud of you son.” That meant the world to him. Studies have shown that some of the drawbacks can be excessive background noise in crowded settings (Wheeler, Archbold, Gregory, & Skipp, 2007). This was an issue for Quincey and something that took time to get used to.…

    During this conversation, I was able to make the parent feel comfortable and we talked with confidence. Although this was the first time that I attended the IFSP meeting, I was able to talk with the parent and other team members. The mother was very involved.

I encouraged her to be active and involved through trust-building and listening to her concerns regards her child.…

    Men and women in the field of speech-language pathology become overworked and no longer desire to work in special education. The conditions compelling speech-language pathologists to leave are also causing students to not enter the field in the first place. However, the number of children who need their services continue to grow. SLPs who stay in the field are given larger and larger caseloads until they experience burnout as well. Speech-language pathologists are vital for the specific education that speech-language impaired children need.…

    Analysis Of Deaf Again

    Community, acceptance, pride and early linguistic intervention are the key issues that I found during my reading of Deaf Again. Our author’s experiences at Gallaudet University and the PSD finally gave him the feeling of existing and community. For the first time, he craved challenges and joined organizations because he did not feel left out. Drolsbaugh has now learned how to live life and was a big advocate of deaf children having every opportunity to interact with others like themselves. Without this exposure, Mark Drolsbaugh felt emotionally and cognitively much younger than his chronological age as compared to his hearing counterparts.…

    When it comes to educating natural supports, individuals with cerebral palsy, and the general public about methods and techniques use, there is no better school of education then “other parents who have dealt with the same set of difficulties” (Polzin, and Odle, 2006 par. 41). According to Austin “Listening may seem to involve just remaining quiet and hearing what others have to say… [This increases the] development of listening skills” (2009 p.…
