The child was seated comfortably at 1 meter distance from speaker at 45 0 azimuth facing towards the ear tested. The thresholds of each ear were determined separately using conditioned audiometry. Frequency modulated tones at 500 Hz, 1000 KHz, 2000 KHz and 4000 KHz were presented through speakers. The minimum intensity at which the child was able to detect the presence of the tones was noted across frequencies. Speech perception measures: Picture Speech Identification Test for children in Tamil developed by Boominathan & Yathiraj (2009) was administered. The test contains 50 phonetically balanced words represented as pictures in closed-set format (4 pictures in each sheet). The test involved two clinicians with one presenting the stimuli and the other documenting the child’s responses. Familiarity testing was carried out prior to the actual test procedure. The words were presented through loudspeakers in live voice at conversational level (55 dBHL) and the child was asked to point to the target words presented.

    EVAS, he experiences irregular shifts in his hearing ability so monitoring his audiogram is vital for effective communication, so one service that needs to be added is regular audiological evaluations when a change in hearing is suspected or at least monthly. The acoustics of classrooms and other learning environments can significantly alter how Sam has access to spoken language. So the audiological evaluations need to include at minimum an aided audiogram and evaluation of personal amplification (hearing aides) and educational modification (FM unit).

  • Amelia's Language Weaknesses

    Amelia’s assessment must be authentic, meaning that the behaviors observed should be parallel to what would occur in a natural setting, including information regarding what she knows and can do (Crais, 2011). The assessment will highlight three principles as indicated by Crais (2011) to ensure that all information is reliable and indicative of Amelia’s true language abilities. The first principle this assessment adheres to is that information will be gathered from various measurements through formal testing (PLS-5), reviewing questionnaires previously completed by Amelia’s caregivers, collection of an informal language sample, interviewing Amelia’s parents and/or caregivers, and recording behavioral observations. By collecting information from a variety of measures, it will validate that Amelia’s language abilities are consistent and similar to how she speaks at home and school. If it becomes apparent that Amelia is communicating differently than she normally would, the clinician can modify the session or request a video observation from home.
