Button
Language deprivation remains a significant concern for many Deaf and Hard of Hearing (DHH) children, often impacting their cognitive, social, and emotional development. This session will explore effective strategies for identifying and addressing language deprivation through comprehensive assessments, goal setting, and the implementation of targeted activities. Attendees will gain insight into evidence-based methods to support language acquisition and development in DHH children, focusing on tailoring interventions to meet individual needs. Through case studies, participants will reflect on how to apply these techniques to foster communication and language growth. By the end of the session, participants will be able to define language deprivation, recognize its causes, and utilize multiple approaches to mitigate its effects and foster language-rich environments for DHH children.
