What are the 5 communication options? | 1) Auditory verbal uni-sensory 2) Oral auditory - oral 3) Cued speech 4) Total communication 5) ASL/English as a 2nd lang...bilingual/bicultural |
What does "auditory verbal unisensory" communication approach emphasize? Discourage? Goal? | Emphasizes auditory skills; discouraged from relying on visual cues; goal - develop speech through use of aided hearing alone |
What does "auditory verbal unisensory" communication approach use for development of receptive language? Expressive language? | Receptive language - use of personal amplification system (HA, CI, FM system); Expressive language - spoken and written English |
What does "oral auditory-oral" communication approach emphasize? Discourage? Goal? | Emphasizes the use of one's residual hearing and the use of speech reading and lip reading; Manual communication is discouraged, however, natural gestures supported; Goal - develop speech and communication necessary to function in the hearing community |
What does "oral auditory-oral" communication approach use for development of receptive language? Expressive language? | Receptive lang - amplification and speech reading; Expressive lang - spoken and written English |
What is cued speech? | Visual communication system of 8 hand shapes that correspond to different speech sounds. Makes spoken lang clearer through vision |
What is the goal of cued speech? | Develop speech and communication necessary function in the hearing community |
What does "cued speech" communication approach use for development of receptive language? Expressive language? | Receptive lang - amplification, speech reading, visual cues which represent different sounds; Expressive lang - spoken (sometimes with the use of cues) |
What is total communication? Goal? | Use of all means to communicate; Goal - to provide the least restrictive access to communication |
What does "total communication" approach use for development of receptive language? Expressive language? | Receptive lang - formal sign lang, finger spelling, amplification, oral speech, natural gestures...; Expressive lang - spoken English and/or sign lang, finger spelling, written English |
What is ASL/English as a 2nd lang bilateral/bicultural communication approach? Goal? | Manual lang that is distinct from spoken English; Goal - to allow the child to communicate before learning to speak as some children will never learn to speak effectively. |
What does "ASL" communication approach use for development of receptive language? Expressive language? | Receptive - use of ASL and English is taught as a second lang; Expressive - ASL and written English |
What is speechreading? | The method of using visual cues from a speakers face to decode the speakers message. Also using lip-reading, contextual cues, body lang. |
What are the two approaches of speechreading aural rehab technique? | analytic and synthetic approaches |
What is the analytic approach to speechreading? | FOCUS ON DISCRIMINATION. Bottom-up approach to piece the sounds together. Based on the premise that individual parts (syllables) must be identified prior to understanding the entire message. (ie - "beet" v. "boot") |
What is the synthetic approach to speechreading? | Top-down approach. Based on the premise that the general understanding of a message is most important regardless of individual parts. Work from highly contextual, familiar content to novel content. (ie - "speechread a story and answer questions about it) |
Who should be encouraged/discouraged from using speechreading? | Encouraged for adults who developed HL later in life; Discouraged for children. |
What is the prevalence of HL in adults? | 3.8 million adults b/w the ages of 18-64 years old. About 440,000 are functionally deaf |
What is the prevalence of HL in elderly adults? | 314 of every 1,000 people over the age of 65 years old and about 40-50% of those who are 75 years old and up |
What are the onsets of HL? | Pre-lingual; gradual; and sudden |
What is presbycusis? What are the four kinds? | Age-related HL; gradual progressive loss of hearing; Sensory, neural, metabolic, and mechanical |
Describe sensory presbycusis. | Involves loss of sensory and supportive vells at the basal end of the cochlea that progresses toward the apical end and is first manifested by a precipitous high-freq SNHL usually starting around middle age. |
Describe neural presbycusis. | Results from atrophy of cochlear neurons throughout the cochlea (basal more than apical) and central auditory pathways with unexpectedly poor speech recognition performance when compared with the pt's pure-tone audiogram. |
Describe metabolic presbycusis. | Results from a degeneration of the stria vascularis (which maintains chemical and bioelectric and metabolic health of the cochlea) that occurs from the base to apex in the cochlea, manifesting itself as a relatively flat audiometric configuration. |
Describe mechanical presbycusis. | Also known as a cochlear conductive HL, results from the stiffening of the BM and a gradually sloping high freq hearing loss. |
What are the three "health-related quality of life" aspects that can effect one's life? | Personal fulfillment; physical and material well-being; adult role fulfillment |
What are the personal fulfillment HQoL aspects for adults who are pre-lingually deaf? Acquired deafness? | Pre-lingual - Bond w/ their peers, find a mate and start a family..may have difficulty IDing with neither Deaf culture nor hearing world. Acquired - can trigger psychological trauma b/c it represents a loss of self...may go through grieving process |
What are the physical and material wellbeing HQoL aspects for adults? | Adults who are deaf or HoH reported lower subjective health status and a higher degree of physician use; many report difficulty communicating w/ physicians; historically, ind w/ HL have lower net worth compared to peers w/ normal hearing. |
What are the adult role fulfillment HQoL aspects for adults? | Being satisfied as an adult; HA-effect; high school dropout rate of 44% among young adults who are deaf compared to 19% of normal hearing peers; career counseling during high school |
What is the overall goal of aural rehab with adults? | Communication competence (dev. of communication strategies, remap new auditory percepts to existing auditory memory, may recommend speechreading, coaching in self-advocacy, maintaing HAT, prev of HL |
What are some colleges/universities for the deaf? | Gallaudet University, National Technical Institute for the Deaf, Rochester Institute of Technology |
What are some laws regarding accommodations for students? | Section 504 or the Rehabilitation Act of 1973 and Americans with Disabilities Act of 1990 |
What are some accommodations that a student can have? | Note takers, teacher providing ppts, preferential seating, interpreter, living quarters, FM system not considered "essential") |
Who must secure the accommodations for school? | The student must seek out the accommodations. |
What are some things to consider when selecting a college/university? | Does the college have your program, det. if you meet the entrance requirements, quality of program for students with disabilities, follow-up with officials, schedule campus visit 6 months prior |
