Session Overview: At Hear and Say our interdisciplinary team of clinical specialists work collaboratively in order to provide children with hearing loss the best possible access to spoken language through the use of optimally fitted hearing technology. In partnership with the child’s family, our goal is to enable children who are deaf/hearing-impaired to reach their full potential and participate and contribute to mainstream society. We will use case studies to demonstrate how we work together as a team in the management of complex cases. Case studies will include the management of children with varying degrees of hearing loss and a range hearing technology, as well as a child with severe additional disabilities.
