Abstract: |
As a result of effective early hearing detection and diagnosis, more children and their families are enrolling in early intervention services at ages much younger than thought possible just a few years ago. The early interventionist is now called upon to assist the families in taking advantage of the crucial first 12 months of life to maximize the child’s development in support of the communication option the family has chosen. This presentation will describe three components of an effective program for families of children from birth to 12-months old who have chosen listening and spoken language for their child. Some aspects of each component are: 1. Parental Education: child development, language stimulation, stimulating and evaluating auditory perception; 2, Parent Coaching: strategies for engaging in communication, stimulation of the auditory centers of the brain, and stimulation of vocal expression; 3. Professional Collaboration: stimulating the child to respond consistently to sounds, fostering active collaboration among parents and professionals to adequately inform educational and therapeutic decisions. |
