Abstract: |
Tele-intervention, the use of telehealth technology to deliver early intervention services, is a promising strategy for helping children with hearing loss and their families obtain needed services. However, professionals are often concerned about how this delivery method may impede the ability to communicate sensitive information to families or the ability of families to communicate openly. The purpose of this session is to share findings from a case study involving families who have been recipients of both traditional home visits and tele-intervention. In-depth interviews with families were conducted, obtaining valuable qualitative information on the extent to which families perceived that an effective inter-personal relationship was achieved via tele-intervention. Content focused on desirable characteristics and behaviors that providers can demonstrate in order to emotionally support families as well as guide them in ways to promote their child's development. In turn, a provider experienced in the provision of tele-intervention as well as traditional settings will share strategies he's used in delivering tele-intervention, some unique and some universal to effective intervention. Video clips will be used to demonstrate positive provider-parent interaction, with a focus on the use of counseling and coaching techniques to build strong relationships. |
