Changes in the Wind: Applications of the EHDI Act of 2017
With brand-new state program funding soon to start, this presentation will discuss the key changes between the 2010 EHDI Act and the 2017 EHDI Act. EHDI state coordinators, family leaders, and community advocates will appreciate this clear and visual walk-through of the new requirements as applied to the state program funding. In addition, new/revised objectives of the funding have resulted in an increased number of collaborative projects ranging from creating family-friendly websites to establishing Deaf mentor programs. Examples will be provided with comprehensive resources so states can replicate other states' success within their funding formula and community stakeholders.
- Participants will become able to restate the changes between the old EHDI Act and the new EHDI Act.
- Participants will develop a list of creative projects that will satisfy their state program funding objectives.
- Participants will be able to identify the relationship between the changes in the federal law and state program funding objectives.
