A Deaf Child’s Voice: Things I Wish EHDI Told my Parents

This presentation will present information based on real life early childhood experiences, which has impacted the socio-emotional and academic journeys as students from mainstream middle and high school. Discussion entails recommendations from every parent of what they wish they knew during the early intervention process. Presenters will show a series of video interviews of families who participated in this project.

  • Discuss the point-of view of Deaf youth's experience with how decisions made during EHDI period impacted their socio-emotional development and academic achievement.
  • Examine each interviewee's (parent or child) experience with EHDi and explore solutions which can be shared with future families.
  • Assess different perspectives of the long-term impact of early intervention.
