How should I do rehabilitation training when I take my children at home?

Parents ask: my son is born with neural deafness, with a hearing loss of 85dB. At 6 months, he wears a hearing aid in his right ear, and at 10 months, he wears a hearing aid in his left ear. Now 21 months, will be some simple title: father, mother, grandfather, and some words. The child didn’t go to the rehabilitation institution for language training. I took him at home. Excuse me, what should I do in this situation?

Teacher Bi replied:

Hello, parents! First of all, I would like to encourage and support you to take your children at home, because family is the best environment for children’s growth, and parents are the best teachers.

My suggestions are:

1. Monitor and track the hearing status of children at any time. Go to a hearing doctor regularly or irregularly for hearing test and hearing aid adjustment. Do it for both the naked and the hearing aid. Audiogram will provide us a lot of information, which will help children’s hearing and language rehabilitation training. That is to say, you should be highly sensitive to your child’s listening situation, because listening is the basis of speaking.

2. Every week, find a professional teacher to give you and your child an individualized rehabilitation training course, that is, auditory oral course. Get the professional teacher’s advice, you will be more clear thinking, can also find some problems, so that can be targeted solutions.

3. You also need to refer to some professional books in this field, or browse some professional websites, so that you can better grasp the development goals of children’s listening, speech, language, cognition, communication and other fields, and believe that it will promote the recovery of children.

4. Make full use of family advantages, and integrate all the things you want to teach your child into daily life, so that the child will be easier to understand and use. For example: to let children understand some adjectives, such as “soft, sticky…” You can make use of the opportunity of making dumplings or kneading the plasticine with your child to learn vocabulary. In such a game scenario, the child is naturally very engaged and believes that the learning effect will be satisfactory. In addition, you can use the opportunity of cleaning, or cleaning the room to let children know different things, know the properties of things and some simple classification and other common sense.
