Case Study – 8-year-old Aiden
‘Practitioner Search’ Consultation
The Story…
After struggling at school for a while, Aiden was diagnosed with a moderate bilateral hearing loss. Aiden’s parents were feeling overwhelmed with the new diagnosis, which devices he may need and what interventions may help him.
The outcome…
After getting to know Aiden’s specific case and understanding his current needs, Aiden and his mother were directed to an audiologist with extensive assessment experience and who also had the full range of hearing assistive devices Aiden could trial for personal and classroom use. Aiden was directed to a specialised speech therapist (who also had a degree in Audiology) for an assessment of his language skills and targeted intervention.
