The role of socio-economic factors on longitudinal outcomes of children who are deaf or hard of hearing
Information about the role of maternal level of education, race/ethnicity, age of the mother, smoking in pregnancy, Medicaid/self pay/insurance, and mothers who were not married on follow-up from UNHS referral. The workshop will review information about the impact of Meeting 1-3-6, maternal level of education, age of the child, on receptive and expressive language, expressive vocabulary in the first three years of life and on pragmatic language and expressive vocabulary at 7 years of age. In addition, the impact of being born after the initiation of UNHS/EHDI on and intervention) for children in 3rd through 10th grades will be reported. Reading proficiency level changes by birth year (after UNHS/EHDI roll-out), eligibility for free and reduced lunch, grade level, laterality of the hearing loss, degree of hearing loss and language spoken in the home will be described. The research results are from an inner-city (urban) school district with 71% eligible for free and reduced lunch, 71% identified as racial/ethnic underrepresented population, and 38% who speak a language other than English in the home. The impact of UNHS/EHDI is throughout the educational lifespan of the child born after the initiation of UNHS/EHDI in the state. Meeting 1-3-6 and Meeting 1-2-3 will be discussed as well as the impact of these two variables on children whose mothers had lower levels of education. Children with unilateral hearing loss from this school district showed similar trends to children with bilateral mild-moderate hearing loss. Additionally, the role of parent conversational characteristics in conjunction with meeting 1-3-6 on pragmatic and expressive vocabulary outcomes of children at 7 years of age will be discussed. Strategies that can enhance parent conversational strategies in early intervention and their impacts on neurological activation in the language areas will be discussed.
- Participants will be able to describe how maternal level of education impacts developmental outcomes of children who are deaf or hard of hearing and what preventative actions are.
- Participants will be able to describe the role of EHDI 1-3-6 on developmental outcomes especially related to lower income levels.
- Participants will be able to describe the role of speaking a language other than English in the home on the developmental outcomes of children who are deaf or hard of hearing and preventive strategies.
