Early this morning I completed data collection on a project examining the professional perspectives on working with multilingual children with hearing loss. Eighteen professionals participated in focus groups describing their experiences and views on working with children with hearing loss. As the participants were all in Australia and across five different states (and three time zones) all of the interviews were scheduled for the middle of the night New York time.
Discussions focused around language choices and planning, working with parents, and perceived gaps in knowledge to inform practice. Professionals included speech-language pathologists, psychologists, interpreters and teachers of the deaf, and we both Deaf and hearing.
