This session introduces a model for implementing early childhood education and assessment practices for children who are deaf or hard of hearing. Presenter Catherine Cronin Carotta uses classroom and home-based video samples to demonstrate how adapting the physical learning environment, addressing the emotional climate, selecting learning formats, and using language facilitation techniques can benefit all children. This course is a recorded session from the 2019 online conference “Birth to Three: Working Together to Serve Children and Their Families.”
