Empowering Healthcare Providers to Optimize Language Development in Deaf Infants and Young Children ECHO Program

Registration is now open for Cohort 3 of Empowering Healthcare Providers to Optimize Language Development in Deaf Infants and Young Children.

This is the third of three planned iterations of this ECHO series. Hundreds of professionals from healthcare, early intervention, and education have joined us to rethink language access, family supports, and language development outcomes for deaf children.

• Free to attend
• Continuing education credits available
• Session recordings available to registered participants
• Weekly takeaways plus a curated 20+ page resource package
• Learn from leading experts in the field
• Join an interdisciplinary community of practice committed to improving language outcomes for deaf children and families

Across six weekly sessions, leading experts will explore:

• Audism and bias in medical systems
• Language deprivation and its long-term impacts
• System-level barriers that shape family choices
• Sign language as a foundation of care
• Research-to-practice approaches for preventing language deprivation
• Language, culture, and belonging as measures of success

Who Should Attend?

ENTs, audiologists, hearing screeners, pediatricians, early intervention providers, speech-language pathologists, social workers, NICU staff, and anyone working in Early Hearing Detection and Intervention (EHDI) pathways.

Students considering or pursuing careers in EHDI are also welcome.

We hope you'll join us for this final planned cohort.
