Oral Expressive Outcomes in Late-Identified Children with Hearing Loss
de Diego-Lázaro, Beatriz; Restrepo, María Adelaida
Communication Disorders Quarterly, v42 n3 p177-184 May 2021
This case study described the oral expressive outcomes of five children with hearing loss who experienced prolonged auditory deprivation prior to participating in an auditory intervention. Expressive outcomes were measured by the number of spontaneous words and imitations. Visual analyses revealed that two of the five participants increased their oral expressive skills during the intervention. The results suggest that children with hearing loss who are late identified and aided can still develop some basic oral expressive skills, but they would probably benefit from interventions that directly target the use of words expressively.
