Have you ever read a “Where are they now?” article to learn about the current status of your favorite athlete or celebrity? What if we could do that with adults born deaf or hard of hearing whose families chose Listening and Spoken Language (LSL) as their communication option upon learning of their hearing loss diagnosis as a child? Thanks to recent research findings, we can!
In their research paper, Auditory-Verbal Graduates—25 Years Later: Outcome Survey of the Clinical Effectiveness of the Listening and Spoken Language Approach for Young Children with Hearing Loss. Dr. Stacey R Lim, Dr. Don Goldberg, and Dr. Carol Flexer highlight the incredible achievements of children born deaf or hard of hearing whose families chose LSL over 25 years ago.
