    Hearing Assessment: Decisions and Documentation for Early Start

    This course offers procedures that can be implemented by Early Start service coordinators to monitor the hearing status of children eligible for Early Start. It describes the hearing assessment evaluation and audiological follow up as well as ways to access hearing screening resources in the local community.

    What participants have said: "As a teacher I can use the information during my observations, parent meetings, and assessment during the school year. As well as the risk assessment for reduced hearing levels as we are required to test the children in our program."
