Bradley Schaefer 1. The two most common identifiable causes of hearing loss are: Waardenburg syndrome and Pendred syndrome Waardenburg syndrome and Stickler syndrome congenital CMV and Connexin 26 mutations congenital rubella and Connexin 30 mutations maternal radiation exposure and Alport syndrome 2. Fetal alcohol syndrome: is an uncommon condition is caused by alcoholic fathers can be avoided if the mother quits drinking when she knows she is pregnant is not typically associated with developmental disabilities has a significant co-morbid occurrence with hearing loss 3. Abnormalities of the mitochondria: are not associated with hearing loss have no medically associated problems other than hearing loss can cause a susceptibility to environmental exposures such as aminoglycoside toxicity are inherited in a typical Mendelian inheritance pattern can cause conductive hearing loss 4. In newborn hearing loss,: genetic causes account for less than 10% of all cases nongenetic causes may still have genetic influences a diagnostic workup almost never identifies a cause identifying a cause is medically curious, but does not usually give information that is useful to the patient and his or her family identifying the cause should be mandatory, that is, every family should be compelled to have their child tested “Treatment of (Central) Auditory Processing Disorder: Bridging the Gap Between the Audiologist and the Speech-Language Pathologist” by Velvet Buehler 5. An example of a temporal processing and patterning test would be: dichotic digits pitch pattern low-pass filtered speech speech-in-noise 6. The process of binaural integration involves the ability to: integrate and perceive two different auditory signals presented simultaneously “fill in” missing pieces of auditory information perceive speech presented in noise separate two different auditory signals presented simultaneously 7. Bellis and Ferre recommend that treatment should focus on phonological/phonemic training and auditory discrimination in the (C)APD profile of: prosodic deficit integration deficit output organization deficit decoding deficit 8. Bellis and Ferre outline three primary types/deficits of auditory processing disorder; they are: decoding, integration, and output organization decoding, integration, and associative decoding, integration, and prosodic decoding, associative, and output organization 9. An example of a test in the audiological battery to assess auditory closure might be: low-pass filtered speech competing sentences dichotic digits pitch pattern “Children Who Are Deaf or Hard of Hearing With Additional Learning Needs” by Susan Wiley 10. Children who are deaf or hard of hearing frequently walk late. true false 11. In children who are deaf or hard of hearing with a vision impairment, the purpose of a functional vision assessment is to: determine the cause of the child's vision loss provide educators with a sense of the child's vision so they can intervene more effectively explain to parents why a child isn't making anticipated progress determine the right eyeglasses a child needs 12. It is better to determine a child's developmental capabilities based on cognitive assessment than a disability category or label (i.e., cerebral palsy). true false 13. Children who are deaf or hard of hearing cannot have a specific communication disorder beyond the impact of the hearing loss. true false 14. Expanding a child's educational team: allows intervention strategies from fields beyond deaf education is too difficult to accomplish is ineffective can only be done by family request Additional Resources FiguresReferencesRelatedDetails Volume 22Issue 2October 2012Pages: C1-C3 History Published in issue: Oct 1, 2012 Get Permissions Add to your Mendeley library Metrics Topicsasha-topicsasha-sigsasha-article-typesleader-topicsCopyright & Permissions© 2012 American Speech-Language-Hearing AssociationPDF downloadLoading ...
