No Holding Back: Providing Resources for the Whole Family
Providing resources to a variety of families with children that have a range of hearing loss is critical in the early stages for social emotional, language and overall success. Research shows that high levels of family involvement have been found to support greater language development outcomes in deaf and hard of hearing children. Due to level of hearing loss, causes of hearing loss, onset of hearing loss, benefits from hearing technologies and family dynamics these resources need to vary from each family. This presentation will demonstrate how to integrate research into working with families who have deaf and hard of hearing children. The presentation will include how to set up a bilingual environment (ASL, English, and spoken English) for families to gather along with a variety of activities that can be taught and brought home. This workshop will include interactive technology resources for fostering early literacy.
- Participants will gather insight into how to integrate research into their practice
- Participants will learn how to implement activities to support family engagement.
- Participants will learn how to use technology to foster early literacy.
