Hearit Workshop

General Topics Covered in Hearit Workshops

Each hands on workshop will demonstrate the efficacy of use of four Hearit auditory tools for progressive training with those with phonological and central processing disorders and language/learning disabilities. These auditory tools include the user friendly Hearit Original, the new, more powerful Hearit Perfect, and the newly modified Hearit Broadcaster with cordless headset microphone.

The goals of such intervention are for the student to progress from the individual to the small group and then finally the classroom setting through the use of Hearit auditory tools. The end result is to increase attention span and comprehension, reduce distractibility, increase phonological awareness and discrimination for those in remedial, special education, reading, and bilingual programs. Supportive ASHA research and clinician case studies for child learning disabilities and adult communications disorders will be used to document the clinical uses for Hearit.

Detailed Workshop Content

TOPIC: Clinician Amplification as a remedial technique for children with normal peripheral hearing or slight undetected hearing loss.

This type of rehabilitation has proven successful with learning disabled children in the educational setting as a remedial technique for those with phonologic and central auditory processing disorders, and language/learning disabilities.

OBJECTIVES

The goals of such intervention include increasing sustained attention and comprehension, reducing distractibility and increasing phonologic awareness and discrimination. This application is based on the premise that the development of these skills will affect children's speech sound production, language processing/speech discrimination skills, and academic achievement.

METHODOLOGY

The workshop will include "hands-on" demonstration of (5) Clinical Auditory Tools that raise frequencies, between 2500 Hz and 6000 Hz, in the voice/speech range, making speech sounds more intelligible for the child. The most effective Training Methodology for Hearit Auditory Tools is a Three Step Progression for the child which starts with individual therapy, moves to small group training and then on to a classroom orientation. The classic technique of reading text aloud with the aid of clinical amplification with Hearit Original, Hearit Perfect or Hearit SE will be demonstrated and how this learning technique can dramatically improve sustained attention and comprehension skills. The Hearit SP-ED/BIL Package, used with 1-4 students, and the new compatible Classroom Broadcaster with cordless headset microphone for classroom use will also be previewed.

ASHA,NICH RESEARCH & CLINICIAN/INSTRUCTOR RECOMMENDATIONS

References will be quoted from ASHA's (1991) Clinical Amplification as a Remedial Technique for Children With Normal Peripheral Hearing, ASHA,33 (suppl. 3), 22-24; McKinnis, S. Thompson, M. (1999) Altered Auditory Input and Language Webs to Improve Language Processing; Shapiro and Mistal (1985) Use of High Frequency Amplification in Reading and Spelling Disabled Children; Project MARRS (Mainstream Amplification Resource Room Study (1984) Use of sound field amplification for children with academic achievement deficits. Specific clinician/instructor recommendations pertaining to child learning disabilities will be referenced that demonstrate how Hearit Auditory Tools have improved language, reading, spelling and achievement testing skills.

FUNDING SOURCES & INDEPENDENT SCHOOL DISTRICT/REGIONAL EDUCATIONAL CENTER (ISD/REC) REFERENCES

The successful use of Title I and Title VII Programs, Texas Rehab Commission (TRC), Medicaid and Private DME Insurance Clauses to purchase phonological awareness auditory tools will be detailed. For Technology Grants, this abstract can be used to justify the purchase of Hearit Auditory Tools. Several ISDs and RECs will be mentioned that have successfully used our Hearit Complete Auditory Tool Kit as a lending library for their children and instructors.

QUESTION AND ANSWER PERIOD

The last 15 minutes of the Workshop will be devoted to answering any questions pertaining to the use of our Hearit Auditory Tools for SP-ED, Bilingual and Reading Programs.

30-DAY TRIAL OFFER

For clinicians, remedial instructors and parents, we offer a 30-day trial of our Hearit Auditory Tools. This provides the opportunity for the directors of SP-ED, Reading and Bilingual Programs to observe the "hands-on" child/instructor benefits. Following positive learning outcomes, Directors can arrange to purchase Hearit Auditory Tools for each campus.
