Parent-to-Parent Support Survey – A Pilot Study of The CARE Family Retreat

A pre-/post-intervention survey was developed based on the conceptual model of parent-to-parent support for children who are deaf or hard of hearing developed by Henderson et al., 2014. This program evaluation tool was used to assess the impact of the CARE Project Family Retreat for parents/guardians of newly identified children with hearing loss. Data analysis consisted of the comparison of pre--retreat responses and with the post-retreat results including the satisfaction survey included on the post-retreat survey form. Data presented includes summary statistics (e.g., means, variability, proportions). Implications for interventions and activities designed to provide parent-to-parent support are detailed.

  • 1. Identify the features of the Henderson et al., (2014) Revised Conceptual Framework of Parent to Parent Support designed for families of children with hearing loss
  • 2. Relate features of the pre-/post- intervention survey tool to the revised parent to parent support conceptual framework.
  • 3. Identify three types of family support interventions and/or activities appropriate for use of the Parent-To-Parent Support Survey
