Improving Outcomes Using Technology for Children Who Are DHH
January 26, 2023 updated by: Children's Hospital Medical Center, Cincinnati
Improving Outcomes Using Augmentative and Alternative Communication for Children Who Are Deaf or Hard of Hearing
This study evaluates the efficacy of using augmentative and alternative communication (AAC) technology for enhancing language development in children who are deaf or hard of hearing.
Half of the participants will receive AAC technology with their speech and language therapy and half will continue with their usual care models.
