When a child is diagnosed with hearing loss, the family looks for medical, educational and emotional intervention. TEAM stands for Therapist, ENT, Audoiologist and Mentor. This presentation will highlight the best practice used by all disciplines who collaborate to ensure that the family receives the support that is needed to navigate their way through their journey of hearing loss.
In Illinois, a parent to parent support program provides unbiased, emotional support and resources by trained Parent Mentors to families with children who have hearing loss. This presentation demonstrates how a medical model utilizes a parent support program to enhance family services. Through a collaborative effort of the medical team and parent mentors, families are able to take advantage of a comprehensive circle of service.
- Will identify strategies to enhance current programs by offering parent support groups. Through analyzing their current roles professionals will define opportunities to collaborate with their medical, educational or emotional support counterparts.
