The Department of Communication Sciences and Disorders at Emerson College is presenting the 2022 Speech and Hearing Foundation of MA lecture, “Pragmatics in Children Who Are Deaf or Hard of Hearing,” by Dr. Amy Szarkowski, director of The Institute at the Children’s Center for Communication/Beverly School for the Deaf (CCCBSD).
ASL interpretation and CART provided. If you are unable to attend, a recording can be provided for limited viewing. Please indicate on your registration that you would like that sent.
This presentation will highlight why pragmatic development should be of interest to professionals and caregivers alike. From infancy through adulthood, pragmatics can influence how individuals interact with and understand others and their world. Drawing on clinical experience and scholarly work in this area, Dr. Szarkowski will share insights about areas of pragmatic vulnerabilities as well as strengths among children who are deaf or hard of hearing and will offer evidence-informed suggestions for bolstering pragmatic abilities.
