Audiology

Educational audiologists provide diagnostic evaluation information for students suspected of having a hearing disorder and offer services for the (re)habilitation of hearing disabilities. They also work with the school teams to plan intervention, formulate IEP goals and services, and fit and manage a variety of auditory-based equipment for students with hearing problems.

The staff audiologists Ohio teaching certificates, licensure through the Ohio Board of Speech Pathology and Audiology, and national certification through the American Speech-Language-Hearing Association.

Audiology services should be contacted when…

  • You or your school team suspects a hearing disability (audiological status needed for MFE)

  • A student has audiological services on their IEP

  • Evaluation of hearing is needed for an MFE and a screening was attempted but was inconclusive

  • You find out that a student in your school wears hearing aids

  • The Speech/Language Pathologist needs assistance with audiometric equipment or with interpretation of hearing screening results

  • The intervention team is interested in using an amplifying or auditory training device as part of a student’s intervention
