Introduction
Hearing is important for all children. Unidentified or unmanaged hearing loss affects a child’s ability to learn language and to achieve academically. Audiological services should be designed to assess the specific needs of a child as early as possible. It is the goal of the Desert/Mountain Special Education Local Plan Area and Desert/Mountain. Operations (DMOPs) to provide children with audiological assessments and services to allow a child to work in the least restrictive environment (LRE). The audiological program is currently a collaboration between the DMSELPA, DMOPs Deaf and Hard of Hearing (DHH) staff and Pacific Hearing Services, a SELPA contractor. This guide is intended to provide participating Local Education Agencies (LEAs) in the DMSELPA with information regarding audiological assessments, services and equipment, and the federal and state requirements to provide audiological services.
