Monitoring the Fidelity of Early Intervention Services for Children who are Deaf or Hard of Hearing.
In an ever changing field, professionals are constantly challenged to provide high quality early intervention services to families. There are many critical areas of development to teach to families while also being a coach and providing family support. Discover a new assessment/planning tool developed to give providers a guideline of information to share with families and to create growth plans. This tool can be used as a self-assessment for providers to work to make change in their practices. It can also be used with a supervisor or mentor to help evaluate and set professional development goals. Using several categories, it looks carefully at how we teach parents to use the necessary strategies to help their child develop age appropriate speech, language, and listening skills. It examines a provider’s knowledge and ability to provide high quality services and also looks at their ability to impact change in parent behaviors as well.
- Participants will learn how to evaluate the quality of their intervention specific or early childhood deafness.
- Participants will identify at least 2 professional areas to target over the next 12 months and identify objectives to make change.
- Participants will list at least 4 strategies used to teach parents to strengthen their child’s auditory feedback loop.
