Families' communication choices for young children with hearing loss

Kate Crowe's PhD research considered families' communication choices for children with hearing loss. She found that parents' choices were influenced by advice from professionals, their children's access to hearing aids and cochlear implants, children's intervention experiences, children's future opportunities, practicalities of communication, and creating a sense of belonging for their children. In 2014 her research was published in an article titled Communication choices: Translating research to practice for professionals working with children with hearing loss which recently won the  Journal of Clinical Practice in Speech-Language Pathology (JCPSLP) Editor's Prize.
