The American Academy of Pediatrics Early Hearing Detection and Intervention (EHDI) program is hosting a 4-part series of virtual office hours. Each office hour will include a recorded didactic presentation which can viewed at any time, followed by a live Q/A with audience members. These office hours are primarily tailored to pediatric health care providers, but are open to all members of the EHDI community. Join us for real-time technical assistance on key EHDI topics. Our first session explores the role of pediatric clinicians in fostering language acquisition for infants who are deaf or hard of hearing (D/HH). Discover effective strategies, dispel myths, and address ableism for informed shared decision-making. All are welcome to participate!
