Visual Reinforcement Audiometry (VRA) can measure after the child is about ___________ old | 6 months |
In order to be able to perform Visual Reinforcement Audiometry (VRA), the child must be able to do these three things: | • Sit-up independently on parents lap • Able to support their own head • Be in a state of cooperation (not crying or sleeping) |
In order to be able to perform Visual Reinforcement Audiometry (VRA), the Audiologist needs to act ________ and pay very close _______ | Faster, attention |
