| Description |
Adult role models/mentors who are deaf or hard of hearing (D/HH) support the language acquisition and social development for families of infants and young children who are D/HH by sharing personal experiences and/or information about being D/HH, educational and communication opportunities, using hearing technology, and about the Deaf Community and Deaf Culture.
For families who have chosen to use American Sign Language (ASL), the use of adult mentors and role models trained in ASL-based mentoring curriculums specifically supports the family's learning of ASL.
Key findings and recommendations of recent research, contracted by Lifetrack, to gain better understanding of the needs and preferences of families with young children who are D/HH will be presented.
