Question Prompt List: A New Counseling Tool for Pediatric Hearing Loss
Parents need support as well as information. When children are initially diagnosed with hearing loss, families often do not even know the questions to ask. They may be overwhelmed with the emotions that occur with the diagnosis. Audiologists and other professionals are very involved in their clinical work and may not even be aware of what families are thinking and what families want and need to know. The purpose of the QPL is to help families think about their concerns and to help them feel comfortable asking difficult questions to professionals. The QPL is available on the Phonak website in English, Spanish and Chinese. This session will review benefits of the QPL, development of the tool, and tips on using the QPL with families.
- Describe benefits of using the QPL as a counseling tool
- Describe how to incorporate the QPL in the appointment
- Describe how the QPL can facilitate family-centered support
