Each day, children with hearing loss attend Early Head Start (EHS) programs. How will we identify who they are? This webinar will help Early Head Start staff begin the planning process for establishing evidence-based hearing screening practices for children ages birth to three years old. Learn about the Otoacoustic Emissions (OAE) screening method and how it works. Presenters will remain online at the end of the session to answer questions.
Topics for this Webinar Include:
- The importance of periodic early childhood hearing screening
- OAE hearing screening technology
- How to establish an effective hearing screening program
