The Benefits of a Deaf/Hearing Team On A Child's Developmental Journey
Early intervention programs for the deaf/hard of hearing provide services for children with diverse backgrounds and needs. Within a program, the linguistic, technological, cultural, and familial profiles may vary widely from child to child. In order to holistically address each child and family, we must look to both deaf and hearing educators and clinicians. The collaboration, knowledge, and perspectives of a deaf and hearing team create a beneficial, balanced environment that circulates between the child, the family, and the team members themselves. This workshop will identify some of those potential benefits as well as highlight the importance of transparency, trust, and alliance between deaf and hearing professionals in the early childhood setting.
- Describe how the benefits of having a deaf-hearing team circulate between the child, family, and the team itself in an early intervention setting
- Identify the benefits of both deaf and hearing perspectives when it comes to issues of language development, cognition, culture, and technology
- Describe the importance of open communication and trust within a deaf-hearing team
