Parent Coaching in early intervention with deaf children May 2024

Early intervention is associated with improved outcomes when working with deaf babies and preschool children. Similarly parental engagement has long been documented as leading to positive outcomes in language acquisition of deaf children (Calderon, 2000; DesJardin, et al., 2006; Zaidman-Zait et al, 2017) but we need to go beyond mere parental ‘involvement‘. We need to find ways to enable parents to confidently take forward the strategies being suggested by the therapist/teacher.

This webinar will focus on the use of specific parent-coaching techniques in early intervention. We will look at how we can best empower parents and adapt the way messages are delivered to enable greater understanding and engagement in their child’s early intervention programme.

Attendees can apply for 5 CEUs upon completion of the webinar.
