19th ANNUAL EARLY HEARING DETECTION & INTERVENTION MEETING
March 8-10, 2020 • Kansas City, MO
Use of CDC’s Learn the Signs. Act Early. (LTSAE) Materials in North Carolina’s Early Hearing Detection and Intervention (EHDI) Program
The nationwide implementation of newborn hearing screening and the development of Early Hearing Detection and Intervention (EHDI) programs have led to earlier identification, diagnosis, and management of hearing loss in infants and children. However, at least one-third of children with congenital hearing loss are likely to be diagnosed with one or more neurodevelopmental or related disabilities (Gallaudet Research Institute, 2014; Wiley et al., 2019). These conditions include autism spectrum disorder, intellectual disabilities, social-emotional disorders, sensory integration dysfunction, visual impairment, motor delays, learning differences, and a variety of other health-related conditions. The Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC) initiated the Learn the Signs. Act Early. (LTSAE) program to engage parents and other early care providers in developmental monitoring aimed at facilitating earlier identification of children with developmental delays and disabilities. This poster will: 1) examine conditions that co-occur in children who are deaf or hard of hearing, 2) describe LTSAE materials developed by the CDC to promote early identification of developmental delays and disabilities in young children, and 3) describe how the Carolina Institute for Developmental Disabilities and NC-LEND are collaborating with the North Carolina EHDI program to promote and integrate LTSAE resources in our state and how this can be replicated in other states.
