Speech & Audiological Services Staff

Functional Speech Services Program Summary
Students attend the California School for the Deaf, Riverside (CSDR) because it has been determined that they require instruction to be provided in signed language. At CSDR, instruction is presented through American Sign Language (ASL), a visual/conceptual language without a spoken component, and the printed form of English. It is the goal of the Speech Department at CSDR to support the ASL-based instruction provided to our students. Because CSDR is an ASL environment, our speech services focus on skills and strategies that will facilitate positive interactions with non-signing individuals rather than the traditional speech therapy approach that focuses on precise articulation of individual sounds and words. Speech services offered at CSDR may include the following:

Speechreading
Intelligibility training
Phonemic awareness
Auditory perceptual skill training
Functional/situation based conversation training

The audiology program provides diagnostic and rehabilitative services to students and staff at the California School for the Deaf, Riverside. Testing includes complete audiograms, and when appropriate, an assessment of middle ear function and hearing aid benefit. The audiologist assists students and staff with the process of obtaining assistive devices and supplemental services by confirming or providing proof of deafness to outside agencies. Rehabilitative services include initial cochlear implant auditory therapy, rehabilitative consultation regarding environmental enhancement or potential benefit from the use of auditory devices, and minimal in-house hearing aid maintenance.
