Speech and Spoken Language: You Can't Have One without the Other

This course explores the relationship between speech production and spoken language ability for the young child using a cochlear implant. Beginning with the premise that speech production is the outward manifestation of a child’s competence in spoken language, similarities and differences between these two terms are identified. Strategies for creating early intervention activities that recognize the importance of following developmental norms are presented with an emphasis on the role that auditory access with a cochlear implant plays in the process.

This is a Recorded Course which requires either a Windows-based computer or a Mac with speakers/headphones to view. More information is available in the FAQs/Help section.
