Phonological Awareness Assessment and Intervention Practices for Children Who Are D/deaf or Hard of Hearing
Puhlman, Jane E.; Wood, Carla L.
Communication Disorders Quarterly, v42 n1 p23-30 Nov 2020
There is not general consensus on best practice for assessment and intervention of phonological awareness (PA) for children who are D/deaf or hard of hearing (D/dhh). The current study surveyed the PA practices of teachers of the deaf and speech-language pathologists to explore perceptions of PA importance, familiarity, and helpfulness related to assessment and intervention approaches used when working with children who are D/dhh. Survey responses from speech-language pathologists (n = 80) and teachers of the deaf (n = 94) indicated that the majority of respondents perceive PA to be important to literacy instruction with children who are deaf or hard of hearing. Notably there was a significantly higher average PA importance rating for literacy instruction with children with typical hearing than the PA importance rating for children who were D/dhh. There was wide variability in reported PA assessment and intervention practices. Participants reported using some assessments that included explicit items or subtests for PA including the following: "Clinical Evaluation of Language Fundamentals, Comprehensive Test of Phonological Processing," and the "Dynamic Indicators of Basic Early Literacy Skills." There was not general consensus on a particular instructional method or approach to support literacy development.
