1. Identify the relationship betw

se specific strategies to develop auditory skills w

Children w

ith any degree of hearing loss are at risk for having poor speech perception, and, therefore, struggle to develop typical language skills (Jerger, 2007). Y

et, in order to m

aximize the developm

ent of language, speech-language pathologists m

ust develop auditory skills so that children with

hearing loss have the opportunity to use the auditory sense m

odality to comprehend and m

onitor speech and language production. The purpose of this presentation is to present current inform

ation regarding the relationship between speech

perception and language development in children w

ith hearing loss, detail how

audition, touch, and vision interface to provide a m

ore complete com

posite of speech stimuli, and provide

practical treatment techniques and strategies to develop

auditory and language skills in children with hearing loss.

Groner: The rise of an extensive psychological literature on the

presence of implicit biases in decision-m

aking has been slow

to enter clinical practice in speech-language pathology. Implicit

biases consistently have been shown to have m

easurable effects on behaviors involved in com

municating and interacting

with other people. Far from

being morally reprehensible,

implicit biases are usually helpful, tim

e-saving tools. How

ever, w

hen they are incorrect, they can severely affect the quality of services provided to the students w

e serve. In this presentation, the influence of a num

ber of implicit biases w

ill be discussed in relation to speech services provided to a 2nd grade boy w

ho stutters. Prom

ising and feasible strategies for bias reduction w

ill be shared. C

hen: This presentation delves into the research in phonological aw

areness training, including those pertaining to the language im

pairment population. It discusses factors to

consider when teaching phonological aw

School-age children w

In 2003, the first research article was published indicating that

the brain activation of individuals with reading difficulty

changed after receiving language-based intervention. I was

curious about these findings. In my experiences, people w

ith reading, despite receiving years of language-based intervention. C

brain changes associated with accuracy and those associated
