What's In and Out for Outreach Programs?
What is an outreach program in the context of early intervention? Well, it can mean different things depending on who you ask and which state you are in! Ranging from statewide services to site-based services for families and children, outreach services vary from state to state, and often are legally mandated/restricted. A survey to all schools for the deaf in the United States was sent out in 2023 to check on and document current trends and practices. This presentation will share the astonishing results and spotlight several diverse models of outreach services, both public and private. Self-assessment of program efficacy and methods of data collection were also inquired after. If you have wondered about the activities of outreach programs in your state or curious about how state-wide schools/centers do outreach in other states, this is the presentation for you! Opportunities for collaboration await early intervention and Part C agencies, along with family support organizations.
- The participants will be able identify the current trends in providing school/center based services to families
- The participants will be able to list three benefits of developing collaborative services
- The participants will be able to share at least three different outreach program examples
