How to REALLY Use a Parent on Your Team
Parents offer unique personal experiences and perspectives that will have significant value to advisory boards, focus groups, presentations or other training activities. If you give these parents an opportunity to interact and support other families, and to share their expertise, you will have a better representation of stories and experiences: not of one perspective, but of many – the Village Speaker. This presentation will focus on how to best utilize parents in supportive and leadership roles in your EHDI, EI and medical home environments. Using real-life examples and experiences from parent professionals, Amanda will share insights and practical ideas on how to involve parents as team members for you to take home, share and implement in your own programs.
- take home ideas on how to encourage and involve parents at local, state and national levels of your EHDI and Intervention programs.
