The “What Else?” Checklist: Guiding Audiologists in Their Role with Families
The “What Else?” Checklist is intended to help guide Audiologists in appointments with families. This checklist was developed to ensure that families are getting the information and support they need to be effective as parents in the language development and communication access of their children. This simple checklist can be used to ensure that consideration has been given to:
• Ensure that time with a family is utilized most efficiently so their needs are met.
• Support the family with the information they need to make informed decisions.
• Support the family’s emotional context to the experience.
• Provide additional resources beyond the audiologist’s office that will help the family (community, family-to-family support, etc.).
Practical, succinct reminders for the audiologist that will help them prior to, during, and after an appointment are included in this checklist. Families report that Audiologists who are sensitive to the holistic experience of raising a child who is deaf/hard of hearing create a more equitable partnership towards success.
This checklist was created by the CDC Parent-to-Parent subcommittee that brought you: “Questions to ask your Audiologist”, “The Communication Decision Guide”, and the “IFSP Communication Plan” among other items.
