Will benefit from FM system

Answer 7

Omission and distortion of speech sounds
Occurs in Moderate HL

Question 8

Which of the following is true about hearing loss in children?
- Speech in children with moderate hearing loss can be characterized with excessive nasality
- Children with minimal hearing loss may have difficulty hearing soft speech or that at a distance greater than 3 feet

Answer 15

TRUE
The use of two reinforcers in VRA improves conditioning success and maintains the child’s attention longer eliciting more responses.
