Semester Project:

Due 8 July - NO EXCEPTIONS!

!#!#! POOF!#!#! You are the Director of Audiology in one specific setting listed below (you choose). Decide and describe which pediatric audiology protocols you will initialize to assure quality patient/client/student care.

Justify the motivation of your chosen protocols by interweaving literature citations. Within your bank of cited literature, at least 5 CURRENT (from the last 8 years) must be used. Dont forget to be comprehensive: getting/giving referrals, testing protocol, follow-up, etc.

·         Program in Independent School System (special education division: hearing impaired K – 12 grades)

·         Program in Public School System “Q” (general school population K – 12 grades)

·         Head Start Program in South Dallas (2 – 5 year old population educationally at risk)

·         State-wide Public/parent education program for awareness of childhood hearing loss

·         Private hearing,vision,and speech screening practice in a Metropolitan area (serving 4 – 18 year olds)

·         St. Paul Hospital Audiological Services (birthing hospital + general pediatric hospital population)

·         University Based Speech & Hearing Clinic (serving birth to grave: your focus will be pediatric

·         Testing for Central Auditory Processing in a Private Practice serving Learning Disabled Children

·         Mobile Van in Cooperation with the Early Childhood Intervention Program
