What Difference Do They Make? The New Part C Regs and EHDI
The Part C Regulations for the 2004 IDEA Reauthorization were released in September, 2011. This, coupled with the recent reauthorization of EHDI, make it critically important that EHDI Coordinators understand the Part C program: its changes, priorities, constraints, and collaborative efforts. As a result of this session, participants will be able to describe the changes in the new Part C Regulations that affect the EHDI program. Given the numbers of infants 'lost to follow-up' and EHDI's emphasis on intervention, the session will also focus on the importance of data sharing between the two programs.
- describe the changes in the new Part C Regulations that affect the EHDI program; describe ways in which the EHDI and Part C programs can better collaborate; and discuss the importance of exchanging data between the EHDI program and Part C.
