Optimizing Outcomes for Early Identified Children Through Inclusive Service Provision Sarah Wainscott & Marion Helfrich The River School Washington, D.C. Project Funded by Deafness Research Foundation

Project Objective Assess inclusive model as a language learning environment for young deaf children Site: The River School

Priority: Competence commensurate with typical hearing peers for skills in: communication communication spoken language spoken language socialization socialization Goal is broad competency and generalized skills Goal is broad competency and generalized skills

Timeliness of Inclusive Approach: Advent of universal newborn hearing screening Advent of universal newborn hearing screening Earlier implantation & advancing technology Earlier implantation & advancing technology Research related to incidental learning for CI users Research related to incidental learning for CI users IDEA policy regarding least restrictive environment IDEA policy regarding least restrictive environment Narrow scope of traditional oral approach Narrow scope of traditional oral approach Best practices in early childhood education Best practices in early childhood education

Inclusion Model of Education Underlying Principles M ultifaceted approach should be used to support the development of communication, spoken language, and social skills. M ultifaceted approach should be used to support the development of communication, spoken language, and social skills. Intervention services should be imbedded within a context of developmentally appropriate early childhood curriculum, and alongside hearing peers. Intervention services should be imbedded within a context of developmentally appropriate early childhood curriculum, and alongside hearing peers. Potential benefit in more natural context Potential benefit in more natural context

Longitudinal study: Deaf children transitioning from pre- to para-linguistic to linguistic stages. Inclusion Model of Education The Big Question:

Inclusion Model of Education Methodology Sample: Emerging language users with cochlear implants in River School programs Sample: Emerging language users with cochlear implants in River School programs N=6; 4 females N=6; 4 females Ages: 14 mos to 3yr 2 mos Ages: 14 mos to 3yr 2 mos Age at Implantation: 11 mos – 26 mos Age at Implantation: 11 mos – 26 mos Length of CI Use: 1 mo – 1yr 4mos Length of CI Use: 1 mo – 1yr 4mos

Inclusion Model of Education Methodology Interval video analysis of children in select activities Interval video analysis of children in select activities 6 month intervals 6 month intervals Activities: Teacher-directed, Facilitated play, Free play Activities: Teacher-directed, Facilitated play, Free play Analysis: Independent review of video Analysis: Independent review of video Coding system & pattern identification Coding system & pattern identification
