Description
The Hawaii State Department of Health (DOH) Family Health Services Division (FHSD)/Children with Special Health Needs Branch (CSHNB) Newborn Hearing Screening Program (NHSP) seeks a qualified community-based, non-profit with proven experience working with family support groups to coordinate a conference on Oahu that will support approximately up to 100 providers. A statewide Conference will provide an opportunity for providers to stay informed about family support services, statewide resources, language and communication options, best practices while servicing Deaf/hard-of-hearing children and their providers and allow for networking with peers and state agencies and services to enhance the early hearing detection and intervention program services statewide.

The purpose of this project is to support Deaf/Hard of Hearing children and their providers in optimal development by increasing the knowledge and skills of the providers who care for them.

The goal of this project is to gather providers of Deaf/Hard of Hearing children and providers statewide who have Deaf/Hard of Hearing children who are enrolled in early intervention programs and providers who provide direct services to deaf/Hard of Hearing children birth through three years of age, to increase their knowledge on available state resources and programs, as well as best practices for serving this community. The conference will provide an opportunity for providers of deaf/Hard of hearing children, and providers to hear updates, specialists and education from state departments and agencies to increase their knowledge of resources and skills on early hearing detection and intervention.

The conference will be conducted on Oahu and travel arrangements will be available for all attendees and providers statewide.
