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. 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:
- OAE hearing screening technology
- How to establish effective hearing screening protocols within your program
- Follow-up strategies for children who don't pass hearing screening

This webinar will be valuable for all programs (Early Head Start, Migrant and Seasonal Head Start, and American Indian/Alaska Native Head Start) working with children ages birth to three, as well as individuals who support hearing screening activities at the state or community level for birth-to-three populations.
