In this episode, Michelle is joined by Jason Wigand, AuD, Assistant Professor and Clinical Director of the Cochlear Implant Program at the University of South Carolina. Have you scratched your head lately wondering why that patient you're working with just isn’t picking up the sounds or words you have spent weeks addressing? Have you seriously considered the impact of their surrounding environment on speech acquisition? How about little sister’s Ipad blaring, older brother gaming in the next room with the surround sound turned all the way up, the wash running in the machine adjacent to where you’ve been working? Those sounds impact our sessions because they limit what our little ones can hear and Jason is “hear” today to offer functional and fun resources.
