Shake, Rattle and Roll: Evaluating Infants and Toddlers
”Shaken” up by a 4 month old? “Rattled” by a 13 month old? Then it’s time to learn to “roll” with the punches when it comes to evaluating very young patients within the EHDI system. This session outlines best practice techniques with infants and toddlers under three and moves beyond the recommendations in to practical, concrete application honed in real-world clinical settings. Based on an application of the cross check principle, a user-friendly triage process is described to assist audiologists in obtaining more comprehensive audiometric profiles. A strategy for determining “what next” at each decision making point in the evaluation session is presented. The session is intended to guide audiologists in the frequently encountered “how to get it now” dilemma and participants are encouraged to come learn strategies to make each child/family/audiologist encounter efficient, productive and family-friendly.
- 1. Implement an appropriate diagnostic protocol for infants and toddlers under 3 2. Formulate a plan for determining "what next" during each evaluation session 3. Incorporate strategies that incorporate family involvement and understanding in each step of the audiological encounter
