GENERAL INFORMATION
COURSE DESCRIPTION
COURSE OBJECTIVES
The Mayo Clinic Pediatric Cochlear Implant
Conference is designed for ECSE teachers, speech
pathologists, teachers of deaf/hard of hearing,
outreach consultants & educational audiologists
who work with children ages 0-3 years who are
deaf and use cochlear implants to access sound for
the purpose of developing spoken language.
Dr. Blaiser will focus on assessment and
intervention of young children with hearing loss
who are using listening and spoken language
for communication. She will review the role of
input, assessment practices (standardized and
non-standardized), and how to support families
as the primary facilitators of language. Doctors
DeJong and Breneman will focus on candidacy,
the importance of acting early and expectations
following cochlear implantation. Dr. Stoeckel
and Becky Baas, M.A., will review their protocol
for longitudinal monitoring of speech-language
development, the importance of collaboration for
monitoring progress and research that supports
best outcomes.
