Description
We know that children with hearing loss will miss out on incidental language learning and will have challenges perceiving speech optimally in a
typical classroom. So what CAN they do with what they hear? This assessment goes above and beyond a standard speech/language assessment to identify the relevant functional performance issues that may be present, even in our highest functioning students with hearing loss. I highly recommend performance of this test for every student who is included in the general education classroom. This test is expensive, but worth it for the eligibility as you are comparing the child with hearing loss to over 1500 typically hearing students and also for the planning information obtained. Karen Anderson, DirectorTest Purpose
Ages 6-11 years. The Listening Comprehension Test 2 assesses listening through natural classroom situations rather than evaluating listening through simple repetition or discrimination subtests. The tasks reveal students’ strengths and weaknesses in integrated language problem solving, reasoning, and comprehension of material presented auditorily.
