Listen, Talk and Learn in Pre-K $150 .6 ASHA ceus
With more than 94 years of experience, and in correlation with recent research findings, CID has designed its preschool program to foster the global development of children who are deaf and hard of hearing. Components of this successful program include speech, spoken language and auditory curricula, an early childhood curriculum designed to foster the development of the whole child, a strong focus on emerging literacy, integration of hearing children to foster pragmatic language development and theme-based learning. Additional program components include assessment practices, occupational therapy and mainstream support. This workshop will provide teachers and administrators practical information with which to design or enhance their own preschool programs for children learning to listen and talk. Presenters will explain the rationale behind the development of the CID pre-k program and its success. Participants will have an opportunity to observe CID's program and network with professionals. The presenters are Lynda Berkowitz, MS, CED, and Ellie Rice, MS, MAEd, CED.
