Many of today’s children with hearing loss are growing up in homes and communities where they are exposed to multiple spoken languages. This presentation will address the issues involved in helping these children communicate effectively in diverse linguistic environments: foundations of bilingual language acquisition, common challenges, engaging families from minority languages and cultures, and how monolingual therapists can work effectively with families who speak another language.
Thanks to generous sponsorship from the RIDBC Renwick Centre and Cochlear, this webinar is FREE of charge and eligible for one continuing education unit (1CE) from the AG Bell Academy for Listening and Spoken Language.
