The conference is Friday, April 6, 2018, from 8:30-4:30. This presentation will provide information about the pivotal role of auditory brain development in the acquisition of spoken communication, reading, and academic skills in all children, and particularly those who are deaf or hard of hearing. Dr. Flexer will discuss the roles of neuroplasticity, hearing loss, technology, and auditory stimulation on central auditory neural maturation and classroom performance. Information about classroom acoustics will be provided. Literacy development and the use of music will be highlighted. Participants will take home specific strategies for “growing the child’s brain” for spoken communication and literacy development. ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
