Put Me in Coach-Inheriting Cases with Care
In a field with caseloads that are ever-increasing and shifting due to growing populations, remote work, and early diagnosis, the only constant is change. Deaf Educators, Speech Therapists, and other professionals that work with children with hearing loss can expect to inherit or take over management of care from another provider many times in their career. Families of children with hearing loss, often already in upheaval following the diagnosis of hearing loss, can find this change overwhelming and even unwelcomed. Providers must build a relationship of trust to have a positive coaching relationship, (Rush & Sheldon, 2002), especially in inherited cases. A careful review of previous provider’s files can set all team members up for success by helping providers determine what factors are at play for everyone that will be working together to reach the goals. These factors can include both positive strategies and stressors from past experiences. It is vital to know that a child's medical history can expose relevant stress factors that affect the readiness to learn for both the child and parent. (McLaughlin, Sheridan, and Lambert, 2014).
Coaching is the most effective strategy for positively engaging parents in therapy (Gotcher, Nelson, and Smith, 2020.) At the beginning of a coaching relationship, providers can establish expectations of all team members (guardians and professionals) through open communication.
This presentation will: Help new providers establish trust with families in inherited cases. Both parents and providers will review strategies to effectively share case histories and previous clinician files to prepare for new management. Parents and providers will participate in coaching activities to strengthen the coaching relationship and increase communication between team members.
Participants will learn techniques for building trust with guardians of children with hearing loss.
