At Louise Levy Audiology, we celebrate every step toward greater accessibility and inclusion in everyday experiences.

AMC Theatres recently announced open-captioned movie screenings at select locations making it possible for individuals who are Deaf or hard of hearing to fully enjoy films alongside their friends and family.

Open captions display dialogue and sound descriptions directly on the screen, helping create an equal and engaging movie experience for all. 👏

We applaud this effort and hope to see more entertainment spaces take similar steps to ensure everyone can connect through sound, story, and community.

Supporting a child with hearing loss starts with meaningful play! Here are some expert-recommended toys that promote language, sensory, and social development while keeping things fun and engaging.

Top Toy Recommendations:
🔹 Cause-and-effect toys (like pop-up animals, musical books, or toy drums) help children connect actions with reactions, encouraging listening and communication.
🔹 Light-up & vibration toys provide multisensory feedback great for engaging children with limited auditory input.
🔹 Textured books and interactive storybooks help build early literacy skills and can be used alongside sign language or speech therapy.
🔹 Pretend play toys (kitchen sets, doctor kits, dolls) support expressive language, social play, and imaginative communication.

👩‍⚕️💬 Professional Tip:
Choose toys that encourage interaction and bonding. Whether you’re using spoken language, sign, or both, the goal is connection. Follow your child’s lead, name objects, describe actions, and make play time full of smiles and shared attention.

Kids with nonverbal learning disorder (NVLD) have a number of different learning challenges. All of them have to do with recognizing patterns, but the specifics vary a lot from kid to kid. Areas that kids with NVLD might struggle with include visual patterns, social patterns, abstract reasoning, math, and organization. The first step to helping kids with NVLD is figuring out exactly what kinds of patterns they have trouble with.

A specialized assessment for NVLD can pinpoint what kinds of learning a child struggles with. Then, kids can get support tailored to their specific needs. This involves teaching them to find the kinds of patterns that they might miss on their own. For instance, they can learn to pick out the main ideas when learning complicated things and practice breaking problems into smaller steps. The same strategies can even help kids with NVLD who have trouble understanding social interactions. Once they learn a pattern they can use it as a script to approach new situations.

In my practice, I see kids of all ages with NVLD during auditory processing evaluations. In these evaluations, I assess how well a child processes auditory information, such as speech and other sounds. These evaluations are conducted in sound-treated rooms. The tests can also measure auditory memory, discrimination, and localization. The evaluations can last up to two hours.

Welcome to a new era in classroom amplification! 🔊

The best learning happens when students can hear clearly, and teachers can talk at a comfortable level. Classroom noise, distance and poor acoustics can make for challenging learning and teaching conditions. With best-in-class sound and plug-and-play simplicity, Roger™ assistive listening devices for Education provides improved classroom acoustic conditions - and improved learning for your child.

I am a huge advocate for this technology in the classroom. It’s phenomenal. It has the capability of delivering crystal clear voices throughout the room, great battery life and its set-up process is also very easy.

Children’s learning may be impacted by noise, reverberation, distance and the location of the teacher. In order for effective learning to take place, classrooms should be free from excessive noise.
