SELECTING, FITTING & DISPENSING OF ASSISTIVE LISTENING TECHNOLOGY
n What’s involved: • Determination of candidacy – educational need • Student / classroom observation • Student and teacher questionnaires • Selection of specific devices that are most appropriate
for the child’s needs – auditory accessibility across environments
• Ordering, dispensing and fitting of devices • Verification that the chosen device is working
effectively and providing academic benefit to the child and not under/over amplifying
• Monitoring of equipment on an ongoing basis as well as repairs
CREATING EFFECTIVE COLLABORATION
n GENERAL CONSIDERATIONS: • Connect with your area educational audiologist/s • Discuss information you would find beneficial, professional
preferences & differences in policy / procedures • Determine opportunities for networking & building
partnerships • Maintain a working knowledge of legal issues and
terminology for school and clinic based services: IEP, IDEA, HAT, CADS, DSL, HIPAA, FERPA, etc.
• Inform parents that eligibility for special education or assistive technology needs to be determined based on the special education process and school policies
6
CREATING EFFECTIVE COLLABORATION
n CLINICAL RECOMMENDATIONS FOR ALD / FM SYSTEMS: • Find out what hearing aid / CI features need to be
considered to assist school with providing hearing assistance technology
• Do not recommend specific companies or styles - need to consider:
n Needs of the student - certain types of equipment do not work equally well for all students
n All academic environments – team teaching, small groups, flexibility
n District factors – available equipment, budget, number of children, compatibility with other equipment
n Some children will have behavior issues that will take precedence over their ability to use specific types of equipment
RELEASE OF INFORMATION n Accessing Medical Records
• HIPAA (Health Insurance Portability and Accountability Act - 1996)
• FERPA (Family Educational Rights and Privacy Act – 1974)
n Inform parents when the services of an educational audiologist are available in your area, share contact information
n Have parents sign medical release forms at clinic whenever possible since face to face
n Send updated records as they become available, particularly audiograms or modifications to amplification
