17th ANNUAL EARLY HEARING DETECTION & INTERVENTION MEETING

Leadership and Collaboration from Where You Are
Leadership and collaboration are highly valued characteristics in our society. Leaders tend to be rewarded by moving up the ladder in their respective fields. Yet, the number of positions “at the top” is limited and are often not filled by junior colleagues. This presentation will address how those working on the front lines in early intervention, directly with families, can utilize leadership and collaboration strategies and employ leadership techniques to improve family and child outcomes (Harry, 2012). We will explore what it means to lead from where you are, that is, whether you are an early childhood/deaf educator, audiologist, deaf mentor, SLP or other professional. We will also offer insights about the leadership and collaboration qualities that can make a strong and positive impact when working with families of children who are deaf or hard of hearing.
- 1. Describe a minimum of three leadership styles often represented in the helping fields
- 2. Discuss a minimum of two leadership and collaboration strategies/techniques that can personally benefit EI providers and other professionals who work with families.
- 3. Identify a minimum of two ways that the leadership and collaboration qualities of a professional can influence family and child outcomes.
