The Listen and Talk team collaborated on a national study to look at the effectiveness of providing services with a telehealth model of service delivery, or Virtual Home Visits (VHV) We are excited to share that the study has been published and appears in the April 2017 issue of Infants & Young Children, an Interdisciplinary Journal of Early Childhood Intervention.
The results of this important study support the conclusion that providing services through VHV is a valuable method for providing services to children who are deaf or hard of hearing and their families. The findings show that on average, families and children receiving services via VHV had better language outcomes and auditory skills than children who received services through traditional in-home visits! In addition, both family engagement and provider responsiveness were stronger in the VHV approach.
