19th ANNUAL EARLY HEARING DETECTION & INTERVENTION MEETING

Visualizing outcomes: Lessons learned in how to use data visualization in early intervention
Assessment is an ongoing part of early intervention services. Yet, when the assessment reports are shared with parents, there is often a missed opportunity to find common ground in terms of truly understanding a child's current level of performance and the possible next steps. When a child is Deaf/Hard-of-Hearing, understanding performance as it relates to audiological results and their impact on communication develop is even more critical.
This presentation will outline how one state has integrated data visualization as a way to better interpret child outcomes through the Idaho Collaborative Assessment Project. We will review how the metrics were determined as they relate to child outcomes and family support, the process of creating data visualizations as a way to share outcomes with providers and families, and the plans for using the data for development of resources for families as well as professional development.
- Participants will compare the effectiveness of goals written vs. visualized
- Participants will examine how data visualization can be used to support families in early intervention
- Participants will outline ways data can be used to maximize outcomes of children who are DHH
