How’s this for a sitting-in-the-dark-hospital-se

How’s this for a sitting-in-the-dark-hospital-selfie? 😆 This was right before her Auditory Brainstem Response test and before she had the rest of the electrodes and wires hooked-up.

Good news! No hearing loss detected! 🙏 She did great and fell asleep reasonably quickly. This was her second ABR. The first one was much more thorough and time-consuming. (2 visits of a combined of 4-5 hours.) The test is done while the child is asleep, and being 8 months now, she doesn’t sleep as long or as soundly. But the audiologist was able to test the mid-high frequencies and check that her ear tubes were still in place and open.

We go back in 2 months for a behavioral hearing test. The audiologist is also going to see if she can complete a full ABR test during her cleft repair this spring when she is already under anesthesia.

How many family diversity blocks can you hold in one hand 😆 My son made these and then we had a competition!

I’m quite picky about toys. I try to be intentional about what I buy and really believe that less is more. And that’s what I love about @minilandusa toys! Their focus is on diversity, social-emotional learning, and functionality!

CLEFT LIP AND PALATE • These are the common interventions needed with those who have a cleft lip and/or palate. Have you worked with anyone who has a repaired or unrepaired cleft lip or palate?

Velopharyngeal dysfunction (VPD): A generic term for resonance disorders. VPD occurs when the velopharyngeal port does not have proper closure during speech or swallowing. Air leaks into the nasal passage during speech production due to inadequate speed or range of function of the soft palate. This can result in nasal air emission, hypernasality, abnormal speech, and decreased intelligibility.

Nasal air emission: The audible release of bursts of air through the nose during speech.

Hypernasality: A condition when air flows through the nasal passage during voiced consonants and vowels causing too much nasal resonance.

Vocal hyperfunction: A chronic condition when the glottis is overworked resulting in a strained voice, fatigue, or pain.

If you want to learn more information in regards to resonance and voice, I recommend following @kazlinmason and @kristie_voice!

CORE WORDS • Core vocabulary is a small set of basic words in any language that are used frequently and across contexts. They tend to be nouns, pronouns, and verbs. For example: big, eat, go, you. Did you know 80% of what we say is communicated via 200 basic words!? (Baker & Hill, 2000)
