Volta Review, v114 n1 p57-82 Mar 2014
A camp-based conference was designed through collaborative efforts as a replicable intervention for infants and young children newly identified with hearing loss and their families. The educational curriculum was designed to target families choosing listening and spoken language as a communication outcome for their child. One of the goals of this conference was to promote parental empowerment and self-efficacy utilizing a coaching model of family-centered intervention and engagement in a shared learning environment. Pre- and post-conference program assessment of the educational curriculum was conducted to evaluate changes in attitude and knowledge. Results of the conference assessment show significant improvement in parental attitude about the importance of early intervention and knowledge of intervention principles. Results of this conference provide empirical evidence of the value of camp-based family support interventions.
