Douglas, Michael
Volta Review, v112 n3 p345-356 Win 2012
Many listening and spoken language specialists find themselves serving increasing numbers of children with hearing loss who come from families whose primary language is not English. This manuscript describes a variety of methods that can meet the needs of this ever-growing population by highlighting the dual-language support program at the Center for Hearing and Speech in Houston, Texas. The center uses videoconferencing technology and indirect methods of service delivery through remote consultations to serve this unique population.
