Strategies to Involve Parents in the Intervention Process
This presentation gives a range of behaviors typically seen in families reluctant to take on the role of facilitator for their child's communication, such as lack of follow through at home with activities. Participants will be given strategies to determine what will help parents become good facilitators, as well as how to evaluate and develop specific parent skills in providing auditory learning in the natural environment.
Several brief case scenarios will be discussed to bring out parent difficulties as well as a discussion about possible solutions. This presentation is specific to infants/toddlers with hearing loss and deals with specifics about learning spoken language using listening. However, the strategies discussed could be applied to any family whose child is in early intervention for their communicative competence.
- Participants will learn to i) diagnose and analyze parent behaviors that interfere with intervention ii) implement strategies to develop skills and confidence in parents so that they can be effective facilitators for their child's communication
