Podcast 2:
Becoming self-determined: Tips for parents of children who are deaf or hard of hearing
Length: 14:50
There is growing acceptance that children should participate in decision-making that affects them. Consulting with children, even young children, about their hearing at home, school and in the clinic, is very important. It allows them, through participation, to feel that they have influence, independence of choice and helps them to understand their wants and needs. This podcast will discuss self-determination and how parents can promote it with their children with hearing loss.
You will learn:

2. Why becoming self-determined is important for children who are deaf or hard of hearing
