Learning LSL Through Telepractice

Ready to discover what’s possible with telepractice?

Families of children with hearing loss want to know and understand how to help their child learn to listen and talk. Telepractice is a great way for families and professionals to take their LSL journey online, make intervention accessible, and strive for the best possible outcomes.  Let’s get started exploring what telepractice means for your LSL journey!

How does LSL intervention fit into daily life?

Listening and spoken language practice focuses on guiding and coaching families to be their child’s first and most important teacher. LSL intervention helps families understand and use LSL strategies and techniques in their regular routines. The daily life of the family becomes a tailored LSL curriculum. Creating an auditory-focused life will help children with hearing loss become exceptional conversationalists. Everyday moments can become listening and spoken language teaching opportunities.

How does telepractice work for LSL intervention?

LSL intervention is all about guiding families to learn the strategies to teach spoken language through listening. Telepractice is an effective tool for professionals to use as they coach families to understand and implement helpful strategies into daily life. Professionals connect with both parent and child at home through a computer, tablet, or smartphone. Telepractice creates an opportunity to maximize the child’s own environment and build parents’ confidence and understanding. Parents and children can practice what they learn over and over again in their various daily routines!
