American Speech-Language-Hearing Convention 1

Today I presented a paper based on work completed during my Master of Special Education (Sensory Disability) course of study, under the supervision of Dr Breda Carty and in collaboration with Professor Sharynne McLeod.


Crowe, K., McLeod, S., & Carty, B. (2016, November). Raising children with hearing loss in multilingual environments: Understanding the perspectives of professionals. Paper presented at the American Speech-Language-Hearing Convention, Philadelphia, PA.

Abstract: Professionals’ perspectives on spoken language multilingualism and spoken language choice for children with hearing loss were examined. The knowledge, attitudes, and practice that professionals bring to discussions with parents about communication options for their children with hearing loss are highly influential and were examined using qualitative and quantitative means.
