Owning Communication Repair Responsibilities

Maura Berndsen with Michelle Andros

Maura Berndsen, LSLS specialist, provides participants with an overview of how communication repair strategies can be facilitated with students of all ages. Beginning at birth, children with hearing loss need early support providers to help encourage students with language and communication in order to develop their skills for school aged strategies. She explains how students can develop their self-advocacy skills and repair strategies skills, using a list of thirteen things that we all do, for communication repair. She will help participants navigate the Student Communication Inventory and Practical Training (SCRIPT), and provide an overview for when SCRIPT is appropriate to use, and provide suggestions for how to use the SCRIPT with students.
