McCarthy, Melissa; Leigh, Greg; Arthur-Kelly, Michael – Journal of Deaf Studies and Deaf Education, 2021
For infants and young children who are identified as deaf or hard of hearing (DHH), best practice principles indicate the provision of family-centered early intervention (FCEI). However, factors such as geographical inaccessibility and workforce shortages can limit families' access to FCEI in their local area. One strategy for overcoming these…
