Description

Self-Advocacy: Success from Early Intervention and Beyond

This presentation provides strategies that can be implemented to support children who are deaf and hard of hearing in developing language and self-advocacy skills across communication settings. Prioritizing language targets creates opportunities for children to be responsible for their language production, allowing them to advocate for themselves from birth and beyond.

During this session, participants will:

Define meaningful language activities.
Describe self-advocacy skills and how these skills impact positive outcomes for children who are deaf and hard of hearing.
Discuss strategies to prioritize language targets, manage communication breakdowns, and create opportunities for self-advocacy at any age.
