This episode of "Amplified," produced by Hear Indiana, featuring board member Britton Johnson and guest Kelly Hultman, a speech-language pathologist and parent of a child with hearing loss. The conversation centers on listening and spoken language (LSL) support for children who are deaf or hard of hearing, particularly focusing on speech and language assessments. Key topics discussed include the types of hearing loss (sensory neural, conductive, and mixed), the importance of early intervention and consistent hearing aid use, and the specifics of the free, comprehensive language and speech evaluations offered by Hear Indiana to track progress and inform individualized education plans (IEPs).
