Abstract: |
Since 1995, Arizona has mandated that those who screen school aged kids or train others to screen and/or train must go through the T3 System. T3 is Arizona’s train the trainer standardized multi module curriculum that contains content on Adult Learning. Prescreening, Pure Tone screening, Tympanometry, Otitiis Media, OAEs and Reporting. Trainers throughout the state recognize T3 as the “go to” one stop shop for childhood hearing screening training and certification.
Prior to May 2011 a module for birth to three trainers and screeners did not exist. A funding opportunity created the ability to develop an additional module to embed into the existing model. Using the T3 structure and the ECHO training materials and approach, a birth to three training module was developed and implemented. The outcome has created the potential to rapidly institutionalize birth to three training for both the early childhood education and medical models and to spread the ECHO approach throughout the state.
This course will provide an overview of the birth to three course, the training approach used and the collaborative partnerships critical for updating early childhood screening statewide.
