Recommendations

Educational Implications

  • 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.

Some recommendations you may have made include:

  1. When teaching new or unfamiliar concepts, the environment should be as quiet as possible.

  2. The teacher should speak a few inches from the child's ear.

  3. A familiar teacher should work with the child whenever possible. When this is not possible, the child should be given time to become familiar and comfortable with the new teacher before new or unfamiliar concepts are taught.
