Case Study

Educational Implications

Summary of Observations

  • The child responds better to a familiar voice over an unfamiliar voice.

  • The child responds better in a quiet environment than in a noisy environment.

  • The child responds better when the noise is closer to her ear.

Educational implications you may have noticed include:
  • The child may not use her hearing as much with an unfamiliar voice, so an unfamiliar speaker may be less effective in teaching her.

  • The child may miss important information when the enviroment is noisy or the sound source is more than a few inches from her ear.
These implications were drawn from the summary of observations, which suggest that the child does better with a familiar speaker, in a quiet environment, when the sound source is close to her ear.
