Description

Supporting Complex Needs through Transdisciplinary Early Intervention

About 30% to 40% of children with hearing loss have one or more disabilities. This presentation discusses how an evidence-based, family-centred Team Around the Child/Key Worker Model can optimize communication and developmental outcomes in children with hearing loss who have complex needs, and provides strategies for working within a transdisciplinary team.

During this session, participants will:

Understand collaborative team practice within a Team Around the Child/Key Worker Model in early intervention.
Identify red flags in children with hearing loss’ early communication and development.
Describe strategies for working collaboratively and in partnership with the family and transdisciplinary team.
