Ear Infections in Young Children: The Role of the Early Childhood Educator.

Watt, Margaret R.; And Others

Young Children, v49 n1 p65-72 Nov 1993

Ear infections are common and hinder hearing during potentially crucial ages for language learning. Instructors can promote hygiene in the classroom, identify signs of infection and hearing loss and initiate early treatment, provide care for symptoms, improve the acoustic environment, encourage language learning, and beware of interference with language learning from hearing problems.
