Educational Audiology is a small and often overlooked choice for the new audiologist. It is a subspecialty within Audiology and requires additional knowledge and an interest in taking the management of children into the real world and outside of the clinic. Opportunities vary from state to state, including some of the credentialing requirements and background knowledge. Educational Audiology provides an opportunity for the Audiologist to be more involved with the children they serve on a more regular basis and have an impact on their educational development.

Learning Objectives:

  • Identify the difference between the Educational Audiologist and Clinical Audiologist
  • Identify the specialty knowledge needed to be an Educational Audiologist.
  • Differentiate between types of settings in which the Educational Audiologist can function.
