Do you understand your role in supporting children who are D/Deaf and hard of hearing?

 

If not, we are talking all about this with my guest, Sydney Bassard, from The Listening SLP in this episode!

 

Sydney is a pediatric speech-language pathologist with a clinical focus in working with children who are deaf and hard of hearing and literacy. She's passionate about early detection and intervention for those who are deaf and hard of hearing, and she is an advocate for assisting families to find functional ways to build language. 

 

Sydney and I are covering how to support families with children who are in these populations, the biggest challenge when it comes to literacy, the difference between what hearing itinerant teachers do and what SLPs do, how to analyze our own biases when providing information to families and so much more.

 

If this is new to you or you are simply interested in additional resources and advice for supporting children who are D/Deaf and hard of hearing, this episode is so helpful. Don’t miss it!
