Abstract

This resource, provided via the online speech pathology program from Baylor University’s Robbins College of Health and Human Sciences, discusses the effects hearing loss can have on language development and provides descriptions of various types of hearing loss in children. It also outlines how a multimodal approach using music benefits children with hearing loss and what steps parents can take to include music in speech therapy practices at home.
