Educational Audiology Services
Description
All students have a right to access public education, and audiology services play an integral role in the success of students who experience hearing loss. In addition to clinical diagnostic audiology services, educational audiology services also involve planning and delivery of (re)habilitation services following diagnosis. Unique to educational audiology are skills such as analyzing instructional listening dynamics and recommending modifications for the school environment or programs. School personnel and parents are assisted to help make instruction accessible to students with hearing loss for their academic and social success. The services of the educational audiologist are numerous and are customized depending on the needs of the student.
