To further assist ASHA members in the implementation of the 2011 IDEA
Part C final regulations, ASHA has prepared additional resources,
including issue briefs on select topics: implications for audiologists
and speech-language pathologists who provide services for infants and
toddlers with hearing loss and their families; cultural and linguistic
diversity; the individualized family service plan; and an evaluation and
assessments definitions document. ASHA has already prepared briefs on
personnel, transition, referral timelines, service coordination, and
natural environment.
