Unit description
This unit aims to build skills in the audiological assessment and clinical management of infants and children. Through lectures and clinical practicums, skills in the audiological assessment of infants and preschoolers are gained. Normal child development, including speech and language development, is explored. Causes of hearing loss in children, the effects of hearing loss, and treatment options are considered. Throughout the unit, students are encouraged to consider information that is presented from a family systems' perspective.

On successful completion of this unit, you will be able to:
- ULO1: Integrate knowledge of child development and approaches to paediatric assessment across the age range to determine the most appropriate assessment techniques for individual children
- ULO2: Select and independently interpret results of developmentally appropriate behavioural and electrophysiological test techniques, whilst evaluating the consistency of results across the test battery and recommends further action for resolution of inconsistencies
- ULO3: Demonstrate an understanding of genetics, embryology and development of the peripheral auditory system to explain the pathology and clinical course of common syndromes/ diseases/injuries involving the peripheral auditory system
- ULO4: Demonstrate an understanding of hearing screening principles and applications with paediatric and adult groups
