Abstract This paper examines telepractice aural habilitation for school-age children delivered via videoconferencing. It identifies issues, concerns, and successful teaching behaviors and strategies employed in this unique environment. The paper concludes with a description of the Royal Institute for Deaf and Blind Children’s Teleschool and a case study of a 16-year-old cochlear implant user who has received intercontinental auditory-verbal therapy via videoconferencing for 24 months.

The Relationship

This chapter will provide readers with an overview of how a systems-based approach can be used to understand the relationship between culture, environment, language, and disability. It will identify a useful model of ecology, culture, and development that can and should be considered in conjunction with the WHO-ICF framework to guide service delivery in school-based settings. This chapter will also provide an overview of systems-based approaches that can be used when working with children from traditionally marginalized backgrounds. Finally, a case study example will be used to provide guidance on the application of systems-based approaches to service delivery for children in school-based settings.

The Social

Participating in outdoor sports in blue spaces is recognized to produce a range of significant social benefits. This case study empirically analyzes the social benefits associated with the School Nautical Activities project carried out in Viana do Castelo (Portugal) in school-age children and adolescents. It consisted of a 4 year program in which scholars took part in nautical activities (surfing, rowing, sailing, and canoeing) in blue spaces once a week during a semester as a part of their physical education course. The methods used for data collection were as follows: (1) a survey answered by 595 participants in the program and (2) five focus groups (FG): two FGs with participants (seven on each FG), two FGs with their parents (eight participants each), and one FG with the physical education teachers (five participants). Interviews were transcribed and qualitative analysis with NVivo software was developed. Results revealed clear evidence on the social benefits for school-age children and adolescents associated with participation in outdoor activities in blue spaces both in the overall health and in all the following analyzed categories: mental health and well-being, education, active citizenship, social behavior, and environmental awareness. More than 40% state that their overall health is much better now (13.4%) or somewhat better now (29.9%) due to their participation in the program. Thus, this article provides support for the anecdotal recognition of the benefits for school-age children and adolescents from participating in sports in the outdoors and especially in blue spaces.

Cochlear Implant Surgery

Over the last decade, cochlear implantation has become an increasingly viable alternative for the treatment of profound sensorineural hearing loss in children. Although speech and hearing professionals play an important role in the communicative, social, and academic development of children with cochlear implants, many may be unfamiliar with recent advances in implant technology. This article provides an overview of the components of cochlear implant systems and the speech processing strategies that are currently being used by toddlers, preschoolers, and school-age children. A brief description of cochlear implant surgery and the procedures for programming these devices are also included. Finally, information regarding the use of assistive listening technology in the classroom is presented.

Therapeutic Outcomes

In this article, I will provide support for a broad-based treatment approach with school-age children who stutter. Treatments for stuttering have traditionally prioritized speech modification techniques. However, school-age children who stutter experience a range of self-defeating thoughts and emotions about speaking. In this article, I present data from a case study of one school-age child who stutters. The participant experienced three semesters of treatment from a university clinic. Experts applied a broad-based treatment approach that included both speech and stuttering modification techniques and strategies for managing psychosocial aspects of stuttering. Results suggest that successful therapeutic outcomes depended on a broad-based approach of addressing the participant’s speech, attitudes, and emotions. Clinical implications are discussed.

Home And School

There are multiple aspects of language to consider when treating language and literacy impairments in school-age children. Therefore, it is important for speech-language pathologists (SLPs) to understand how to systematically and comprehensively target language in intervention while also considering home and school expectations. The purpose of this paper is to explore a case involving a third grade student struggling with writing and the use of a cognitive apprenticeship model of writing to promote multiple aspects of language using curriculum-based materials and parent support.
