[Olga Prokhorova-Moscow] How are less experienced specialists supported – what are the conditions, and how can this be implemented? As a junior specialist (SLP) I have an interest in this.

The answers of Dr. Barbara Streicher to the questions asked by parents in the webinar 13.06.2012 – second set

by

[Artur SalmiyarovSurgut] I have a patient who has been deaf for 15 years. All this time, he has continued reading and writing. Amazingly, his speech did not fall apart although he did not use any aids. He has congenital problems with his spine, he cannot walk and so does not attend any lessons with SLPs. We are planning to give him a cochlear implant. Do you think he needs P300? Will this give us additional data about the functioning of his cerebral cortex?

This question should be answered by a clinical audiologist.

Normally, patients with post-lingual deafness have very good prospects if they have normal cognitive and neurological development.

[Irina-Tambov] Should tablets with letters or words be in continued long-term use with a CI-implanted child? What if this was a late implantation?

This depends on how well the child masters reading. As soon as the children have learnt the words, the cards are no longer necessary.

The answers of Dr. Barbara Streicher to the questions asked by parents in the webinar 03.06.2012

by

Sabine, mother of twins, Berlin – Our SLP estimates the vocabulary of my children as good. How can I provide an additional boost?

Firstly, I would like to ask a question back to you: on which basis would you qualify the vocabulary as good? Would it be good relative to the hearing age or the chronological age?

One thing is of principle: a child will be stimulated by surroundings filled with speech and language, through it the child will learn new words via “natural usage of language and speech”. As for hearing-impaired children, they should be hearing words, phrases and sentences in conjunction with an action, so that concepts represented by words stay in their long-term memory.
