Caregiver Engagement: Does Provider Identity Matter?
The central question for this mixed-method research study was to examine whether caregiver engagement in early intervention for deaf or hard of hearing children is influenced by provider identity. Provider identity, in this research study, specifically examined the following personal identity variables: race, ethnicity, income, marital/partnership status, parenthood, education level, and the providers’ language. This study utilized an electronic survey which included caregiver demographic information, provider demographic information based on the caregiver’s perception, and the Scale of Parental Involvement and Self-Efficacy-Revised (SPISE-R) (Ambrose, Appenzeller, & DesJardin, 2019). The SPISE-R was utilized as a proxy to measure perceived caregiver engagement. Data from the electronic demographic survey were connected to determine caregiver respondents to be interviewed for the qualitative portion of the research study. Join me, as I discuss the results and findings of this research study.
- Participants will describe indicators of caregiver engagement- relationships, support, care, communication, and encouragement.
- Participants will discover the potential for provider and caregiver mismatch and potential ramifications of this mismatch.
- Participants will identify ways they can support caregivers of culturally, linguistically and economically diverse backgrounds.
