Providers' Rates of Auditory-Verbal Strategy Utilization
Rosenzweig, Elizabeth A.; Smolen, Elaine R.
Volta Review, v120 n2 p79-95 May 2021
This survey study describes rates of utilization of evidence-informed auditory-verbal strategies among 132 professionals (teachers of the deaf, speech-language pathologists, audiologists, early interventionists, and others) working with children who are deaf or hard of hearing who use listening and spoken language. Relationships between provider characteristics (e.g., years of experience, possession of advanced credentials) and rates of strategy utilization were explored. Providers certified as a Listening and Spoken Language Specialist (LSLS) were found to use all 19 strategies most frequently, followed by those who were in the certification process. Non-LSLS certified professionals were least likely to use the strategies. Statistically significant differences in utilization rates based on certification status were found for asking, "What did you hear?"; motherese; and whispering. Results of the study may inform advocacy for highly qualified professionals to serve children with hearing loss whose parents desire a listening and spoken language outcome.
