What the EI World Really Thinks of Language Deprivation?
The words "language deprivation" are whipped around in journals, websites, social media posts, and even a book! What is it exactly? Is it real? Is it something that early intervention professionals and families should pay attention to? Or is it all just a hype? A new form of collecting information direct from Silicon Valley from giants such as Amazon and Netflix will let us know! Come to this presentation to learn about what "community screening" told us about the topic of language deprivation from the eyes of early intervention professionals, families, and community members.
Approved by the Institutional Review Board, a class focusing on language attitudes and ethics participated in collecting input to take the pulse of current views. Discussion will take place on the methodology and how this methodology can assist early intervention professionals, medical professionals, and researchers in quickly gathering perspectives and standpoints by consumers on a topic of their choice.
- Describe the methodology of "community screening"
- Develop an understanding of current trends of collecting information from users
- Increase awareness of current professional and consumer standpoints on language deprivation
