Guest: Valerie James Abbott - If you work as a pediatric speech-language pathologist with the birth through 8-year-old population on speech sound disorders and/or language acquisition, this is the hour for you. Valerie is here to educate us all on potential risk factors for late childhood onset hearing loss, including the dangers of the cytomegalovirus. Did you know that this virus can appear as a common cold for the mother during pregnancy, can only be tested for shortly after birth, but may lay dormant for years, then result in devastating hearing loss when the little one is entering school? Hold hope, though! Valerie will share the initiatives that are occurring by various organizations across the country to advocate for change to catch this type of hearing loss and intervene earlier.
