From Triggers to Resilience: Raising a Child Who Is Deaf or Hard of Hearing
Historically, literature has focused on multi-step processes of grief that families experience upon learning their child's diagnosis of hearing loss (e.g., Kurtzer-White & Luterman, 2003, etc.) These complex feelings and thoughts can be "triggered"/ re-experienced throughout their child's life, particularly during developmental transition periods. The presenters will provide a structure for caregivers and associated healthcare providers to manage these periods of transition using examples from resilience (e.g., Ahlert & Greef, 2014) and positive psychology (e.g., Szarkowske & Brice, 2016) literature and evidence for use of parent-to-parent support (e.g., Henderson, et al, 2014).
- Learn concepts of concepts of complex grief and positive psychology that might be useful when raising a child who is deaf or hard of hearing
- Learn means of strengthening your ability (as a parent) to manage "triggers" and/ or "stressors" as they come along in your child's life, including parent-to-parent support
- As a professional, learn and understand how the above concepts and skills might support your work with deaf and hard of hearing children and their families.
