Abstract
This interactive webinar will include a panel of three EHDI coordinators and their correlating parent leaders who will share their experience in effectively partnering. The information they share, will include aims, outcomes, and strategies they have been working on collaboratively. Specifically, the EHDI coordinator and parent teams will demonstrate how the incorporation of families lead to desirable outcomes in all aspects of EHDI: screening, follow up, diagnosis, early intervention, quality improvement, and parent to parent support. The goal of this webinar is for state EHDI teams to learn about innovative strategies to improve EHDI programs through the inclusion of parent engagement.
