"Sound Sense" is a hearing-loss prevention program for grade-six children. Graduate students in Speech-Language Pathology, who were enrolled in the Fall 2017 CSD 534 Aural (Re)Habilitation course, engaged in advocacy for and delivery of "Sound Sens" to grade-six classrooms. This study evaluated the impact of that student-SLP engagement in the "Sound Sense" program on self-perceptions of competencies specified for MSc-SLP students in the curriculum: identify and investigate opportunities to advocate for services; develop preventative programs and promote the role of SLPs in at least one disorder area; engage in knowledge translation to facilitate the learning of others; and demonstrate presentation and knowledge-translation skills. Pre- and post-engagement questionnaires were used to assess change in self-perceptions of competency. Benefits were shown.
