SHACS: Derek Houston, PhD - Input and Parent-Child Interaction Factors in the Development of Spoken Language in Children who are Deaf/Hard-of-Hearing
Most research on spoken language development in children who are deaf/hard-of-hearing has, understandably, focused on auditory access and speech perception. However, speech perception accounts for less than 25% of variance in language outcomes. Like typically hearing children, language outcome of children who are deaf/hard-of-hearing depends on their ability to make meaning of the auditory input they receive during social interactions with caregivers. Four years ago, I proposed a conceptual framework that asserted that variability in outcomes depended on the total language input that is accessible, attended to, and coordinated with children’s attention during social interactions (Houston, 2022). In this talk, I will use this framework to organize findings from my lab and others toward a growing but far-from-complete understanding of how many input and parent-child interaction factors contribute to variability in language outcomes in children who are deaf/hard-of-hearing.

Craig A. Buchman, MD, FACS is a Professor of Otolaryngology-Head & Neck Surgery at the University of Utah and is a practicing neurotologist for more than 25 years. He has an international reputation for his contributions in the field of cochlear implantation. Dr. Buchman and his colleagues described the use of electrocochleography in cochlear implantation (circa 2006) and has an active, NIH-funded research program that uses this technology for Cochlear Implant Performance Prediction. He has trained more than 200 residents and neurotology fellows in the field. He served as the Lindburg Professor and Chair of the Department of Otolaryngology-Head & Neck Surgery at Washington University in St. Louis from 2015-2025.
