Dear list,
Workshop: Perspectives on Language in Children with Hearing Loss
14-15 May 2020
Macquarie University, Sydney
Child Language Lab
How do children with hearing loss develop spoken language? As advancements in early identification, devices, fitting and intervention progress, children with hearing loss have better possibilities for functional language use than ever before. Yet challenges remain. This workshop brings together researchers, clinicians, health practitioners and industry representatives from diverse fields to discuss the many perspectives on how children with hearing loss come to be able to acquire and process spoken language.
