This course addresses the development of speech and speech reception skills; assessment of speech intelligibility, articulation, speech reading and auditory functioning of deaf and hard of hearing children. The purpose of the course is to provide the theoretical background for understanding the development of listening and spoken communication skills in students who are hard of hearing or deaf. The course does not focus on issues related to communication methodologies (addressed in SERP 430/530). The course provides the theoretical framework for designing programs of speech development (habiliative and rehabilitative) for children from newborn to school age who are deaf or hard of hearing.
