Relationship – The Heart of Therapy
Across the Lifespan
Access: Promoting social cognition in
children with hearing loss
Join Kim for this one – day workshop that provides
clinicians with an understanding of the impact of
relationship on the developing brain and how
therapeutic relationship can set the stage for
learning and enhance neuroplasticity that is
essential for therapy across the lifespan.
Lunch Break:
12:00 – 1:00 pm
Lunch Included with
Registration
(Wednesday Only)
This workshop will translate theory into practical
strategies that effect everyday clinical practice.
Learners will develop a preliminary understanding
of the neurobiology of attachment and social
connection which is at the heart of the need and
desire for communication.
This presentation is of interest to speech –
language pathologists, audiologists, health care
professionals, educators, parents, and care givers.
PM Session:
1:00 – 4:00 pm
Auditory experience begins before birth. Typically
developing fetuses become sensitive to sound in the
second trimester. Specific behavioral responses to
certain types of auditory stimuli are recognizable from
birth. The mutually-occurring behaviors and
responses of both infant and parent guide the infant’s
social development. Non-linguistic and linguistic cues
play varying roles over time. This development can be
interrupted by the presence of hearing loss. Newborn
hearing screening has changed the pattern of
identification of hearing loss, allowing for much earlier
intervention for children with congenital losses.
Professionals working with children with hearing loss
should consider the ramifications of the diagnosis on
early social development and develop strategies for
discussions with parents.
Learning objectives
Participants will be able to
• describe the pre- and post-natal development of
the auditory system
• discuss the evidence for social cognition in infancy
• compare Piagettian and Vygotskyan frameworks
of child development
• generate hypotheses on the impact of hearing
loss on social cognition
• discuss the impact of their clinical care on
children’s social development

Connections – The Neurobiology of
Behaviour: Looking Beyond Diagnostic
Labels
The Aging Auditory System
This one – day workshop will highlight the
neurobiology of developmental diagnosis in
children such as Autism Spectrum Disorder, Fetal
Alcohol Spectrum Disorder, Attention Deficit
Disorder and Genetic Disorders, providing
clinicians with an understanding of why our clients
do what they do and how to develop practical tools
for intervention.
Learners will develop an understanding of
attunement skills and sensory processing for the
development of self – regulation.
This presentation is of interest to speech –
language pathologists, audiologists, health care
professionals, educators, parents, and care givers.
PM Session:
1:00 – 4:00 pm
Hearing loss is the fastest growing, and one of the
most prevalent, chronic conditions facing
Canadians today.
While hearing loss has many causes, age-related
(presbycusis) and noise-induced hearing loss (NIHL)
are the two most common types. According to
Statistics Canada, more than one million adults across
the country reported having a hearing-related
disability, a number more than 50% greater than the
number of people reporting problems with their
eyesight.
The need to treat hearing loss in some manner is
required in order to reduce communication problems
that can lead to social isolation, depression, and a
reduced quality of life.
Clinical professionals (audiologists, speech language
pathologists, as well as others) are left with the task of
trying to determine methods to aid individuals with
hearing loss, many of whom are elderly.
In aging individuals, there are many intertwined factors
that need to be addressed in the process to help the
individual better communicate and feel less
isolated. Some of these include the examination of
perception, cognition, and some form of auditory
rehabilitation.
This series of talks will examine these areas and
provide examples of different methods that can be
applied clinically.
This presentation is of interest to audiologists, speech
– language pathologists, health – care professionals,
educators, parents and care - givers.

ABOUT THE SPEAKERS
Ms. Kim Barthel, BMR, OT(R):
Labyrinth Journeys
Kim integrates the science of occupational therapy and neurobiology with cutting edge practice to support the conscious
evolution of the human spirit. With 30 years of experience in the field of occupational therapy, Kim’s approach to serving
clients is visionary and eclectic yet grounded and easy to integrate into your daily practice.
Sensory processing, the neurobiology of attachment and attunement are at the core of Kim’s practice, writing, and
teaching:
“We have come to understand that our early childhood relationships with our core parent or caregiver (attachments)
shape our brain patterns and our behaviours. There are three different kinds of “attachment” strategies, which have a
significant effect upon how resilient we can be in the face of future trauma. These three ways that kids learn to cope with
the primary attachment figures in their lives exist as strategies to feel comfortable and secure. Attachment theory is the
study of these strategies, how they come to be, and the implications on the individual across the lifespan.”
Kim is a world-renowned teacher and therapist, most active in the fields of relational trauma, sensory processing, and
brain research. Her revolutionary process reinforces the importance of relationship as the basis in communication and
therapy; she blends the art of intuitive inquiry with progressive developments in neuroscience.
Dr. Derek J. Stiles, Ph.D.
Boston Children’s Hospital
Derek J. Stiles is Director of Diagnostic Audiology at Boston Children’s Hospital where he is privileged to manage a team
of 30 audiologists working across 5 locations. He received his PhD degree from University of Iowa in 2010, after which he
worked as an assistant professor at Rush University. He is interested in the effects of aided speech audibility on language
outcomes in children who use hearing aids.
Dr. Derek J. Stiles was recently honored to give the Bamford Plenary Lecture at the British Academy of Audiology in 2014.
Dr. Lendra Friesen, Ph.D., CCC-A
University of Connecticut
Lendra obtained her BSc at Brandon University in Basic Sciences, and then obtained a post-Baccalaureate in Speech
Pathology at University of North Dakota. She received her MS degree in Audiology at Utah State University and obtained
her Audiology certification from House Ear Institute in Los Angeles where afterwards, she worked as a research
Audiologist for 5 years examining speech understanding in individuals having cochlear implants.
Lendra obtained her Ph.D. in Hearing Science from the University of Washington in Seattle with Dr. Kelly Tremblay, where
she examined the brain’s response to speech sounds in individuals with normal hearing, with cochlear implants, and with
hearing aids. While working with Dr. Tremblay, she also explored the effects of aging and auditory training on perception
and the brain’s response.
Dr. Friesen moved to Toronto where she worked at the Sunnybrook Health Sciences Centre and was an adjunct professor
at the University of Toronto. There she continued to examine cues related to speech, music and the brain’s responses to
these sounds in younger normal hearing, and cochlear implant groups, as well as in the aging population.
Dr. Lendra Friesen now is a faculty member at the University of Connecticut where she continues her research in all of
these areas in the hopes of finding methods to improve speech and music perception.
