Researchers from the University of Colorado were among the first to document the positive effects of early identification and intervention for children who are deaf and hard of hearing, which led to the establishment of universal newborn hearing screening and Early Hearing Detection and Intervention programs around the world. Developmental outcomes for children who are deaf or hard of hearing have never been better as a result.  However, children who are deaf or hard of hearing continue to experience considerable individual variability in their auditory and language outcomes even with early intervention and amplification.  Our research team followed a large cohort of children who are hard of hearing from infancy through early primary school to evaluate the factors that supported developmental risk and resilience in communication development. This presentation will highlight novel theoretical and clinical insights from our work that we hope can support further improvements in intervention and outcomes for children who are deaf or hard of hearing.

Ryan McCreery is Director of Research at Boys Town National Research Hospital where he is also Director of the Audibility, Perception and Cognition Laboratory and Director of the Center for Audiology. Dr. McCreery completed his Ph.D. in 2011 at the University of Nebraska, Lincoln, where he researched bottom-up and top-down processing of auditory information in children. His lab’s current research is focused on various aspects of hearing, hearing amplification, language processing and language development. Dr. McCreery’s research has contributed to our understanding of the importance of cumulative auditory experience on language and sensory development. Findings from Dr. McCreery’s research are directly related to clinical outcomes and have ​led to optimized clinical protocols for fitting hearing aids in kids with hearing loss.

Dr. McCreery has authored 56 peer reviewed publications and has numerous research collaborations. He is a regular speaker at scientific and clinical meetings and is an active member of the American Speech-Language-Hearing Association (ASHA).

Because of his significant scientific and professional contributions, Dr. McCreery was recognized in 2020 with a .

Previous studies have identified greater than expected rates of autism spectrum disorder (ASD) among children with reduced hearing. Utilizing a large, publicly available online database (Audiological and Genetic Database; AudGenDB) containing audiological and medical health record data for patients receiving audiological care at three large medical centers in the United States, this study built upon previous studies exploring the prevalence of ASD among children with hearing loss and provided detailed analyses of population characteristics. Four distinct groups were compared: 1) children with permanent hearing loss with ASD; 2) children with permanent hearing loss without ASD; 3) children seen in pediatric audiology clinics with neither ASD nor hearing loss; 4) children with ASD with hearing within typical limits. Comparison within the same pediatric population reveals diagnostic complexity and concerns for disparities in audiological management of hearing loss among children with ASD. Findings have important implications for improving clinical care for children with ASD.

Dr. Angela Yarnell Bonino is an Assistant Professor in the Department of Speech, Language, and Hearing Sciences at the Â鶹ӰԺ. She completed her clinical training in audiology at Vanderbilt University, and her Ph.D. and postdoctoral training at The University of North Carolina at Chapel Hill. Her work has been funded by the National Institutes of Health, the American Academy of Audiology Foundation, and the Hearing Health Foundation.

Presenter: Dr. Carol Westby, University of New Mexico

When: Friday, February 19, 2021
Time: 12:00 - 1:30 pm

Narratives have a central place in the lives of humans. Most of the research on narratives has focused on the structure, content, and style of fictional narratives. Comprehension and production of fictional narratives predicts academic performance through the school year. Much less attention has been given to personal narratives, yet we use personal narratives in many more contexts than fictional stories. Most conversations with others involve sharing personal stories. It is through sharing of personal stories that we establish and maintain social relationships. And it is through telling of coherent personal stories that we develop a cultural self-identity that guides our behavior and is essential for psychological well-being. We tell ourselves stories and we live by the stories we tell ourselves.   

The presenter of this sessions will explain why personal narratives are a critical aspect of development, describe influences of culture on personal narratives, describe the relationship between autobiographic memory and personal narratives, and describe strategies to promote telling of detailed, coherent personal narratives. 

Aims of the presentation::

• Explain why personal narratives are a critical aspect of development
• Describe influences of culture on personal narratives
• Describe strategies to promote telling of detailed, coherent personal narratives
