Popis:	Today, children with hearing loss have more opportunities than ever before to use audition and to achieve age-appropriate spoken language and academic outcomes. Several factors are driving these new outcomes, including universal newborn hearing screening and earlier diagnosis of hearing loss, immediate fitting of advanced hearing technology, and enrollment in appropriate early intervention services. For speech-language pathologists and audiologists, these changes mean altering how these children and their families are served, including the types of diagnostic evaluations that are conducted. Specifically, if speech-language pathologists are to remain vital service providers, they must raise their professional expectations for what these children can ultimately achieve.
