Deaf Children and their Families in Media
In the last one to two years, there has been some insightful videos shared via the internet that highlight families of deaf and hard of hearing children’s journeys and insight on early intervention. This presentation will provide an unique opportunity for parents and early intervention professionals alike to view a showcase of an assortment of professionally-made videos, ranging from parents’ interviews to examples of children’s pragmatic language, both in sign language and spoken language. Several videos also feature families' perspectives on early intervention services and what they learned about their young deaf children, along with early intervention professionals and researchers sharing their inspiration and knowledge.
This presentation will enable families and early intervention professionals to enjoy watching the inspiring videos together for the first time and participate in a discussion together on what they see in the videos, and what they benefited from hearing about.
- Discuss what common factors appear in the videos, particularly the interviews with parents and what they see as similar or different in approaches by early intervention professionals
- Relate to other families shown in the video and see how early intervention services have impacted others.
- Distinguish what early intervention services appear to be key to the families or children despite coming from different backgrounds and locations.
