On-Line Together: Coaching Practices in Early Intervention
This session is an introduction to Listening and Spoken language services for children with hearing loss, using an integrated coaching model developed out of early intervention practices and adapted for teletherapy with children.
Telepractice using the coaching model crosses barriers that might otherwise limit or eliminate access to services, building a cooperative relationship to support work towards intervention outcomes outside of sessions with the therapist. The presentation will offer the perspectives of teachers of children who are deaf or hard of hearing, as collaborators with speech-language pathologists and other professional partners in providing services for children with hearing loss and their families.
Rationale and practices for coaching and consultation with families will be analyzed.
- Participants will recognize fundamental connections between listening and spoken language in practices of intervention for children with hearing loss. Participants will distinguish the rationale and practices related to coaching of caregivers from the rationale and practices of direct service provision in intervention for children with hearing loss. Participants will identify key aspects of a coaching model for supporting and educating, via teletherapy, families of children with hearing loss who receive listening and spoken language services.
