CAUD8007 – Paediatric Hearing Assessment
2021 – Session 2, Weekday attendance, North Ryde
Session 2 Learning and Teaching Update
The decision has been made to conduct study online for the remainder of Session 2 for all units WITHOUT mandatory on-campus learning activities. Exams for Session 2 will also be online where possible to do so.
This is due to the extension of the lockdown orders and to provide certainty around arrangements for the remainder of Session 2. We hope to return to campus beyond Session 2 as soon as it is safe and appropriate to do so.
Some classes/teaching activities cannot be moved online and must be taught on campus. You should already know if you are in one of these classes/teaching activities and your unit convenor will provide you with more information via iLearn. If you want to confirm, see the list of units with mandatory on-campus classes/teaching activities.

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.
