Sensitivity Training for Front Line Newborn Hearing Screeners: NC EHDI + The CARE Project Partnership
It is important for community partners to work closely together with state EHDI programs to develop and coordinate training for stakeholders in the newborn hearing screening process. The NC EHDI program collaborated with The CARE Project, parents, and hospital hearing screening personnel to create a training video to help hospital hearing screening staff understand the important role they play in the life of families of infants who do not pass the newborn hearing screening. Screeners often do not have the knowledge and background regarding EHDI goals to relay sensitive information about hearing screening results to parents. This video was developed to be used in hospitals for new hearing screeners as well as for yearly competency training for existing staff. The presentation reviews EHDI goals as well as ways to facilitate a positive response from parents in seeking follow-up for their baby and in supporting them emotionally on their journey.
- Participants will gain knowledge in working with community partners in facilitating sensitive interaction with families.
- Participants will be exposed to innovative methods of training with community partners to enhance family outcomes.
