Purpose This article identifies benefits of pre-operative counseling as part of an aural rehabilitation assessment with a speech-language pathologist as part of adult candidacy for cochlear implants. Aural rehabilitation assessment is not mandated by the Food and Drug Administration in the United States, by some insurance companies, nor consistently by cochlear implant centers as part of cochlear implant candidacy. Although these entities do not require an aural rehabilitation assessment pre-operatively, this assessment and counseling opportunity may offer benefits beyond its contributions to the actual candidacy determination. The perceived benefits of the aural rehabilitation counseling will be discussed. Method A retrospective review was conducted of adults who did and did not receive counseling by a speech-language pathologist as part of their candidacy determination for a cochlear implant. Results Benefits of pre-operative counseling were found to include realistic expectations and motivation for postoperative management, established rapport with the postoperative therapist, determination of candidates’ personal goals ahead of initiation of aural rehabilitation, and increased rates of enrollment in postoperative aural rehabilitation. Conclusion Pre-operative assessment and counseling by aural rehabilitation practitioners may provide benefits and warrant inclusion in pre-operative cochlear implant candidacy determination.

Flipped classrooms are increasingly recommended by scholars of teaching and learning, and some have argued that active learning is the key ingredient in this model’s success. This paper describes the creation and implementation of online guided case study scenarios using the test function of a learning management system, as well as evaluation of their effectiveness based on (a) performance of students on separate graded case study assignments and (b) student self-reflection of learning and feedback elicited in an end-of-course survey. The case studies were developed for use in a master’s level speech-language pathology course on aural rehabilitation that occurs during the summer semester.

Introduction. Globalization 4.0 and the underlying technological innovations have been leading the world into a new phase of development – cyber-physical systems and talents – an era that has no historical precedent in terms of scale, speed, and depth of changes. Problem Statement. The latest waves of globalization and industrial revolution bear unprecedented challenges and development prospects that countries, regions, corporations, and individuals must be aware of in order to adequately respond and to make adequate decisions. Purpose. Identification and analysis of key development trends in the world economy related to globalization and revolutionary technological transformations in their unity and interdependence, one of which is the development of a network economy as the next economic revolution based on trust, negotiations, diplomacy, and a culture of mutual assistance. Materials and Methods. Analysis and synthesis, comparative analysis and systemic approach have been used for this research. Scientific reports of international organizations, private and public corporations, foreign and Ukrainian scholarly research publications on this issue have been used as references. Results. The main features of Globalization 4.0 and the fourth industrial revolution, which are fundamentally transforming the global economic, social, and geopolitical landscape have been generalized and systematized. The periodization of the globalization waves, as compared with the phases of the industrial revolutions, has been made. This has allowed a comprehensive analysis of the processes of globalization and technological development in their unity and interdependence and further substantiation of the key development trends in the world economy. Conclusion. Globalization 4.0 and the fourth industrial revolution have been transforming all areas of society throughout the world, and therefore should be taken into account when making strategic decisions at all levels of management, from corporate to international.

Families of children with hearing loss and adults who also have been diagnosed with hearing loss require audiologic management, effective hearing technology, and consistent intervention or rehabilitation to improve their communication. Parents of young children with hearing loss who have chosen a listening and spoken language approach, such as Auditory-Verbal Therapy (AVT), may struggle to find qualified providers who can deliver these services. Similarly, adults with hearing loss also may find it challenging to enroll in aural rehabilitation services due to a lack of availability. The Telepractice and eLearning Laboratory (TeLL) in the School of Speech-Language Pathology and Audiology at the University of Akron has developed a model of telepractice service delivery to provide AVT to families of young children with hearing loss and adult aural rehabilitation services. This paper describes the rationale for establishing these services and a general framework that guides service delivery.

Purpose The purpose of this study is to summarize existing literature from a range of fields (i.e., neurology, neuropsychology, neuroscience, neuroimaging, rehabilitation, speech-language pathology) that is relevant to the development and/or revision of cognitive rehabilitation programs for individuals with acquired brain injury (ABI) and, in particular, for young adults. Method This review article reviews a range of ABI-associated topics including (a) mechanisms of injury; (b) biological, individual-specific, and behavioral drivers of recovery; and (c) current methods of cognitive rehabilitation. It then narrows focus to young adults, a frequently affected and growing population to sustain ABI. The review article concludes by providing (a) suggestions for key components of cognitive rehabilitation for young adults with ABI, (b) an example from our own research providing intensive academically focused cognitive rehabilitation for young adults with ABI pursuing college, and (c) recommendations for future behavioral and neuroimaging studies in this area. Conclusions ABI is on the rise in the United States. Young adults have been sustaining ABI at higher rates over the past several decades. These injuries occur when they would otherwise be advancing their academic and career goals, making the cognitive deficits that often accompany ABI especially devastating for this group. Review of existing literature suggests cognitive rehabilitation programs that combine aspects of restorative, comprehensive, and contextualized approaches could promote recovery for young adults with ABI. Future intervention studies may benefit from including both behavioral and neural outcomes to best understand how principles of neuroplasticity—naturally embedded within many cognitive rehabilitation approaches—could be manipulated to promote cognitive recovery and long-lasting brain reorganization in this group.

The clinical dimensions of the supervisory process have at times been neglected. In this article, we explain the various stages of Goldhammer's clinical supervision model and then describe specific procedures for supervisors in the public schools to use with student teachers. This easily applied methodology lends clarity to the task and helps the student assimilate concrete data which may have previously been relegated to subjective impressions of the supervisor.

This article describes an early intervention program designed for speech-language pathologists enrolled in a master's-level program. The program provided students with courses and clinical experiences that prepared them to work with birth to 5-year-old children and their families in a family-centered, interdisciplinary, and ecologically valid manner. The effectiveness of the program was documented by pre- and post-training measures and supported the feasibility of instituting an early childhood specialization within a traditional graduate program in speech-language pathology.

The family described in this article provides an unusual opportunity to relate findings from genetic, histological, electrophysiological, psychophysical, and rehabilitative investigation. Although the total number evaluated is large (49), the known, living affected population is smaller (14), and these are spread from age 20 to age 59. As a result, the findings described above are those of a large-scale case study. Clearly, more data will be available through longitudinal study of the individuals documented in the course of this investigation but, given the slow nature of the progression in this disease, such studies will be undertaken after an interval of several years. The general picture presented to the audiologist who must rehabilitate these cases is that of a progressive cochlear degeneration that affects only thresholds at first, and then rapidly diminishes speech intelligibility. The expected result is that, after normal language development, the patient may accept hearing aids well, encouraged by the support of the family. Performance and satisfaction with the hearing aids is good, until the onset of the speech intelligibility loss, at which time the patient will encounter serious difficulties and may reject hearing aids as unhelpful. As the histological and electrophysiological results indicate, however, the eighth nerve remains viable, especially in the younger affected members, and success with cochlear implantation may be expected. Audiologic counseling efforts are aided by the presence of role models and support from the other affected members of the family. Speech-language pathology services were not considered important by the members of this family since their speech production developed normally and has remained very good. Self-correction of speech was supported by hearing aids and cochlear implants (Case 5’s speech production was documented in Perkell, Lane, Svirsky, & Webster, 1992). These patients received genetic counseling and, due to the high penetrance of the disease, exhibited serious concerns regarding future generations and the hope of a cure.
