Preparing Family-Centered EI Professionals
Eight of the principles in the 2019 Joint Committee on Infant Hearing Position Statement begin with the words, “The EHDI system should be family centered…” Regardless of a family’s chosen language(s) or mode(s) of communication, caregiver coaching is key to success in early intervention. However, few personnel preparation programs for speech-language pathologists (SLPs) and teachers of the deaf (TODs) include explicit instruction, nor field experience, in family-centered intervention. In this presentation, faculty members actively involved in personnel preparation will share the challenges and opportunities of equipping future SLPs and TODs with the knowledge and skills necessary to provide evidence-based family-centered care to children who are d/Deaf or hard of hearing and their families.
- Attendees will list and describe principles of family-centered early intervention
- Attendees will demonstrate at least three (3) new caregiver coaching techniques
- Attendees will identify gaps in current personnel preparation and opportunities for incorporating principles of family-centered intervention into current undergraduate and graduate programs
