Um fyrirlesturinn

An increasing number of children who are D/deaf and hard-of-hearing are growing up in environments were more than one spoken language is used, with or without the use of a signed language. Raising children to take advantage of their multilingual surroundings to become competent users of multiple languages can be challenging for parents and professionals. This is especially challenging because the evidence-based for what constitutes appropriate assessment and intervention practices for use with d/Deaf multilingual learners (DML) and what the anticipated outcomes of DMLs may be is constantly changing and evolving. This presentation will consider raising DMLs from a number of perspectives to answer the following questions: What is multilingualism in the context of DML? What are the anticipated outcomes for DMLs in terms of speech, language, and literacy? How can professionals monitor and support speech and language skills across multiple languages?
