Educational Audiology CEU Courses

Deafness and autism both affect communication, but deafness is frequently identified before autism. Learn to identify the differences in communication development when a dual diagnosis may exist, proper referral channels, and intervention strategies to promote listening and communication skills in the school-age child.

This course summarizes current evidence-based practice for audiologic management during the COVID-19 pandemic, with a focus on habits for appropriate infection prevention for in-person clinic visits. Amending barriers to communication for children with hearing impairment, including the impact of face masks, and considerations for assistive devices will also be addressed.

Having a child with a disability causes significant family stress. The course will help clinicians learn how to assist families in managing stress related to their journey in managing stress for children with hearing loss.

This course is intended for the clinical audiologist who would like to further their understanding of functional listening evaluations and how to implement these when needed to better serve their pediatric patients.

Children with hearing loss returning to school may encounter teachers and other school-based professionals who will be using personal protective equipment (PPE). This webinar will share data on the effect of different PPE on audibility for students with hearing loss.

Remote microphones are being utilized in schools to improve access to a teacher’s voice for children with hearing loss. However, little attention has been given to its design or usability by school-based professionals and their students. In this session, we will introduce research that impacted development of a device from Oticon that ushers in a new era of connection in the classroom and share its innovative features.

Educational audiology is a related service stated in the Individuals with Disabilities Education Act (special education law), but service provision varies, depending on the area of the country. This course will describe how clinical audiologists can support their patients and advocate for educational audiology services.

Educational audiologists are asked to work with a wide range of technologies in the classroom, and technology for children with cochlear implants is changing fast.

Real and meaningful education occurs when children can hear clearly, understand, and engage.
