Description

The field of pediatric audiology is always changing, with new understanding of diagnoses and management strategies. As pediatric audiologists we are called on to obtain clinical information and also to support children in their schools and homes. Added to the audiometric profiles is the ever increasing number of children with developmental differences, requiring audiologists to be ever more creative with our approaches for assessing this population. Understanding how these facets come together helps us to be better clinicians.

This one day conference will focus on current research and evidence based practice procedures for the audiological assessment and management of young and developmentally challenged children.
