Ohio Valley Voices and Dayton Children's Hospital Collaborative
In May of 2019, Oho Valley Voices (OVV) an early intervention program for children who are deaf or hard of hearing in Loveland, Ohio and Dayton Children’s Hospital (DCH) in Dayton, Ohio began discussing a potential collaboration of services for children who are D/HH and their families. These services would coordinate audiology services and listening and spoken language (LSL) services for children (0-3) in Montgomery county and the surrounding area. Currently, there are no coordinated services for children who are D/HH and their families. By partnering we would establish a clear pathway from diagnosis of hearing loss to treatment to audiology services to LSL services for children who are D/HH. It is well documented that early identification and early services for children who are D/HH provide the best outcomes for them. This presentation will discuss the key components of a successful collaboration of services. The dynamic of merging a medical model with a center base model will be discussed. Designing a medical home model where both organizations can provide the family support necessary and the early intervention LSL services to ensure the best outcome for children who are D/HH will be highlighted.
- The learning will identify 3 key components of a successful collaboration
- The learning will describe the important features of coordinated LSL and audiology services
- The learning will summarize the medical home model for of the DCH/OVV collaborative
