How Hearing Loss Affects Learning and Literacy

May 2018 Special Education Leadership Network Education Service Center, Region 13 Austin, TX
Elaine Young of Region 13 presents new research that illustrates the need for early intervention for any child with hearing loss. The critical period for brain development for children is birth to 3 years of age, and is important for literacy and communication.
Beyond the school day, it is the educator's job to teach the parent to teach for the rest of those hours.
