Knowledge and understanding of basic concepts and components of
aural/audiological rehabilitation. (ASHA IIID)
o Ability to recognize and use appropriately vocabulary associated with AR
o Awareness of communication options for people with early-onset deafness
Understanding of assessment procedures for determining aural rehabilitation needs,
including means for assessing hearing status, speech recognition, and hearing-related
communication abilities (ASHA IIIC, IIID)
Understanding of hearing assistive technology (hearing aids, cochlear implants, &
wireless assistive listening devices), including candidacy issues and the potential
benefits of HAT use (ASHA IIIC, IIID)
Understanding of the role of auditory and speechreading training and
communication strategies training in an AR plan (ASHA IIID)
o Ability to apply principles of auditory and speechreading training to design
activities for an individual client (ASHA IIID)
Awareness of issues related to counseling, psychosocial support, and assertiveness
training (ASHA IIID)
Class Format:
The teaching plan consists of lectures, class discussion, group activities (including case
studies), audio/video and some ‘hands-on’ demonstrations. Readings (text, sometimes other
resources) are assigned to provide background information and for purposes of in-class
discussion. Online quizzes will focus on the text readings, particularly the highlighted terms
in the assigned chapters. Each student will be required to lead a demonstration (either alone
or paired) involving AR strategies. The demos will be scheduled periodically throughout the
class depending on the topic. In addition, throughout the course, each student will compile a
portfolio addressing course outcomes. Students will collect resources (selecting from those
provided on Blackboard or handed out in class, as well as from other online or print sources)
and write reflective papers. The reflections will explain the rationale for the organization
and choice of resources included in the portfolio, outline the student’s learning process, and
explain what the student learned about course topics. The portfolio should provide evidence
that the student understands how a variety of concepts fit in with the aural rehabilitation
process. Written guidelines & a grading rubric will be provided. The final exam will be
comprehensive and will be given during the last class period. The exam format will be a
combination of multiple-choice, matching, and short answer questions.
Announcements and ‘helpful hints’ will be posted throughout the course on Blackboard.
Students will be responsible for checking Blackboard frequently to keep up-to-date on
class announcements. Class assignments, due dates, expectations, and/or announcements
will be posted on the calendar each week. Do not expect to receive an in-class reminder
about posted information. Resources for the class and grades will be available through the
Blackboard course.
Participation/Attendance:
Attendance and participation are especially important in a summer course. Attendance is
mandatory; if you must miss a class due to significant illness or other extenuating
circumstances, please notify me in advance of the class. You may be asked to demonstrate
knowledge of any missed lecture material or assigned readings through oral or written
means. Class participation is encouraged through the use of questions and interactive
dialogues relevant to course content and the case studies that will be considered during
class, along with other group activities. However, chatting or sharing materials with fellow
students about topics unrelated to course content during the class period should be avoided.
In addition, please do not use cell phones or text while our class is in session.
Please let me know if there are extraordinary circumstances that affect your ability to attend
class or participate. I am happy to be flexible when I am given ADVANCED notice by the
student in need of accommodations. Late work on assignments will be accepted only if an
extension for the deadline has been arranged in advance. Attendance will be taken
regularly. Points will be deducted from the participation grade for each absence after the
first. Frequent instances of arriving late, leaving class early or leaving during class would
also result in a deduction of point(s) from the participation grade.
