Innovative Delivery Models of DHH Adult-to-Parent Support
Deaf Mentors, DHH Guides, and DHH Role Models—what is the difference? Do we talk about this at every conference? YES! Let's learn and share how state systems implement different programs serving families and how programs can co-exist together. What are some of the challenges that states face when creating or sustaining DHH Adult-to-Parent Support Systems? What are the guidelines to consider when creating new programs? What can programs, systems and families expect from well trained DHH Guides, Mentors and Role Models? These are the most common questions that come up when putting together DHH Adult-to-Parent support services for families with deaf and hard of hearing children.
EHDI programs have a responsibility to increase by ten percent the number of families enrolled in DHH Adult-to Parent Support services by the time a child turns nine months of age. This session will explore some innovative ways that several states are implementing services for families and how each program works together.
- Participants will identify three examples of current practices and services supporting integration of programs with D/HH Guides and Role Models in the EHDI systems.
- Participants will understand the three traits/skills of well trained DHH adults in the EDHI system
- Participants will identify at least three ways that COVID19 2020 increased accessibility, advocacy and connections to DHH Adult to Parent Support programs.
