Non-profit Partners in EHDI
Arizona Early Hearing Detection and Intervention program has successfully partnered with several not-for-profit, Non-Governmental Organizations (NGO). Collaboration has included many aspects of EHDI including:
-policy
-legislation
-equipment
-training
-professional consultation

There are areas in which the NGO is better able to leverage EHDI opportunities for funding, policy, legislation and others than the state government.

- identify potential EHDI Non Governmental Organization (NGO)partners
