PORA! 27.11. “Telepractice in the CI journey. One size does not fit all”

от
We invite you to PORA! on 27.11.22 at 15.00 CET with Colleen Psarros from Australia.
Colleen has 33 years of experience in the cochlear implant field, she is working as a research coordinator in the Asia Pacific region for Cochlear. —>Profile<—

Telepractice in hearing health care was, in general,  highly underutilised until the COVID-19 pandemic. Barriers and facilitators for its use in CI service delivery prior to the pandemic were predominantly organisationally based. Clinical models and protocols were structured around within clinic care with clinicians acting as the gatekeepers to accessing novel methods of care. With the pivot to telepractice due to the pandemic we have identified the psychosocial factors that contribute to potential underutilisation of telepractice. In this session we will identify ways we can bridge existing gaps in use of a telepractice method of CI care, but most importantly identify ways users of CI and their families can access the model of care best suited to their needs.

PORA! 30.10 «Using mnemonic to develop coherent speech of children with hearing impairments».

от

How difficult it can be for a child with a hearing impairment to remember new words! And building phrases is even more difficult. Making up stories, retelling the text they have read — alas, many children are afraid of these tasks…
But even the Ancient Greeks invented techniques to memorize large amounts of information. And modern scientists have proven that these techniques are still effective. And not only for adults, but also for children. What are mnemonic techniques and how can they be used to develop speech in a hearing-impaired child, we will tell you at our webinar «PORA!», which will be held on October 30 at 17:00 in Moscow with Marina Gureva. You will also be able to ask the lecturer other questions about speech and vocabulary development.
Register in advance for the conference:
After registering, you will receive a confirmation email with your conference entry information.
