Resource Description
Guide to Building Awareness and Skills to Facilitate Daily Use of Hearing Devices Early Childhood Through High School
About ¼ of students with hearing loss eventually resist or refuse to use hearing technology necessary for their educational access, often because they feel as though they do not fit in to their peer group. The purpose of this guide is to raise awareness for the reasons why hearing device rejection happens and specific instruction to occur at different ages to build student resilience and self-confidence, thereby increasing the likelihood that they will not reject using their hearing technology. Specific teaching activities and recommendations for instructional materials to develop identified skills have been included in this Guide.
Chapters are age-related. Each includes information about why children appear to resist hearing devices, specific instruction that can improve self-confidence and a student’s resilience to feelings of not fitting in to their mainstream education peer group. Examples of instructional materials are included in each chapter. The Guide is a practical and readable 76 pages.
