Routines-Based Intervention in the Community: Utilizing Deaf Mentors and Interpreters to support Family Outcomes for Deaf and Hard of Hearing Bilingual Children.
Routines-Based Intervention (RBI) does not need to be saved for the home, as much of life happens outside the confines of our homes. It is critical to identify outcomes of successful language interactions in environments such as the grocery store, the library for story time, and neighborhood playground meet-ups. Development of American Sign Language/English language strategies, along with embedding cultural perspectives, is essential to growing a strong bilingual child. We will explore the collaborative relationship between the parent, child, community members, Deaf Mentor, and interpreter. We will highlight outcomes, and strategies for relationship building, role definition, identification of community allies, reflective team collaboration, and cross-environment language planning. In addition, we will discuss the importance of supporting self-advocacy and independence of young children. Videos of RBI outcomes being supported in community environments will be viewed and analyzed.
- Participants will be able to identify three strategies for creation of strong Routines-Based Intervention in community settings
- Participants will be able to identify three reasons why relationship building is important within family and community networks
- Participants will be able to identify three principles of community-based Deaf Mentor/Interpreter supported sessions
