The Dream Team: the Playbook for a Partnership between Parents and Professionals
Welcome to the Dream Team! We know that parents of children with a hearing loss rely heavily on audiologists and early intervention providers as their primary source of support and information (Robbins 2004). Studies show that parents are primary change agents in their child's communicative competence and over-all development (Moller 2000; Dunst 2001). Therefore, to best serve the needs of a young child with a hearing impairement all persons who provide services to the child should work as a team; this includes: parents, physicians, audiologists, educators and speech-language pathologists. This presentation will address the Dream Team, which is a collaboration of professionals and families working together to help each child reach their full potential. Two professionals (an audiologist and early intervention provider) and a parent will discuss strategies to stregthen the parent-professional team and examine the integrals role that the audiologist and early intervention provider has in caring for young children with hearing loss. The audiologist's role on the EI (early intervention) team is not just the 'equipment manager' because clinical experience and studies demonstrate that full time ampiflication use is the foundation for listening and spoken language. Therefore, from diagnosis through the transition period the audiologist's role is critical in supporting the child and the family. The EI provider is the 'coach' of the Dream Team providing critical guidance to the family and providing suggestions and strategies for communication development. Finally, The Dream Team is not complete without the parent, who is the 'Most Valuable Player' on the early intervention team. This presentation will show you that together this Dream Team is greater than the sum of its parts.

Monique Baker
(Co-Presenter), Hands & Voices, monique@kyhandsandvoices.org;
Monique Baker is first and foremost a mother of 3 children. Her third child, Abby, was born profoundly deaf and she found herself thrown into a world of hearing loss that she knew nothing about. She had already decided to quit her successful career to become a full-time mom prior to finding out about the hearing loss diagnosis. She then began the long road of teaching her daughter to listen and speak and partnered closely with her therapists to ensure her daughter had the best start possible. Early on she was introduced to the KY Chapter of Hands & Voices and in February of 2013 took the position of Executive Director. Her work is concentrated on funding for the organization and supporting the chapter state-wide.
