The Melding Pot: Strengthening EHDI Stakeholder Partnerships by the Blending of Parent and Professional Data
According to the Joint Committee on Infant Hearing (JCIH) 2013 Supplement's "Goal 8: Families will be active participants at the state/territory and local levels." This level of participation has challenged both parents and professionals alike in bridging the gap between family and professional partnership. Yet we know, the collaboration between these EHDI stakeholders is an integral component of improving state Early Hearing Detection and Intervention (EHDI) systems and outcomes for children.
For the purpose of this presentation, we will address the question; how can state EHDI teams effectively combine collected quantitative data with the storytelling of families to meaningfully impact awareness and change in their state or territory?
By utilizing an adult learning lens, presenters will offer challenges parents face making meaning from a bombardment of quantitative data, and conclude with concrete best practice suggestions that will help to convey a meaningful and impactful message using multiple forms of data.
Participants will walk away with strategies they can use to link the direct qualitative experience of families with collected quantitative data driven content in order to increase positive stakeholder partnership to attain their goals of children reaching their full potential.
- 1. Participants will be able to define with examples Goal 8 of the JCIH 2013 Supplement.
- 2. Participants will explore adult learning principles to increase active parent participation in development and implementation of EHDI systems.
- 3. Participants will identify types of data (qualitative and quantitative) to integrate and strengthen key points.
