| Description |
Daniel Ling was one of the most
influential educators of children with
hearing loss in the past century. His
pioneering work in creating the world’s
only system of teaching speech to
children with hearing loss became the
research-based, philosophical foundation
for auditory-verbal practice worldwide
and the impetus for the international
certification process for Listening and Spoken Language Specialists (LSLS™)
through the AG Bell Academy for
Listening and Spoken Language.
Professionals who were taught, mentored
or inspired by Daniel Ling come together
in this workshop to share Ling’s legacy
in developing his speech system. The
workshop will cover current research
supporting the auditory approach to
spoken language, the basic concepts of
the Ling system, assessment for speech
targets, practical strategies in using
prerequisite behaviors and facilitating
contexts to develop specific phonemes,
taking suprasegmental development to
prosody in language, and remedial
strategies in speech.
