Family-Centered Intervention with Deaf and Hard of Hearing Children

When working with deaf and hard of hearing children (DHH), selecting a communication modality is a family decision. As professionals, it is important to provide families with all their options when making this decision. This session will cover communication modalities for those who are DHH, providing families with unbiased information, and intervention approaches to target language development.
