How to Support Cohesion Between Family Based Organizations and EHDI
EHDI Programs and Family Based Organizations bring different and essential strengths to the important tasks of identifying and serving families of young children who are deaf or hard of hearing. While those differences may present challenges, it is possible to develop efficient, effective and harmonious partnership to the benefit of families. In this session, the audience will learn about three aspects of the collaboration between Oregon EHDI and Hands & Voices of Oregon: our contracts and agreements, data sharing, and relationship/trust-building efforts.
- List three defining areas that contribute to the success of FBO and EHDI program collaboration in Oregon.
- Describe ways in which both entities and families benefit from the collaboration.
- Summarize opportunities to develop and/or enhance a strong parent-serving organization and EHDI partnership in your state.
