"Minding the Gap:”

Counseling Strategies for Tweens and Teens with Hearing Loss

Tweens and teens with hearing loss face many challenges, and often have no one to talk to about them. This presentation will describe a range of strategies designed to give young people an opportunity to talk to us as we redefine our role to listener and supporter.

1) Adolescent cognitive development and related “thinking errors."
