Family-Centered Pediatric Listening

2011 - 2019

During 2011–2019, research coalesced around placing families at the center of pediatric listening outcomes. Studies advanced family-centered intervention, active parental engagement, and decision-making support for communication modalities, while telepractice and remote supports broadened access to services, including rural and Mandarin-speaking contexts. Early identification and ongoing outcome monitoring anchored clinical decision-making through standardized evaluation protocols, and language and literacy interventions increasingly emphasized parental input, explicit instruction, and cognitive-linguistic outcomes.

• Family-centered intervention and active parental engagement shape outcomes in pediatric hearing loss, supported by international guidelines, family supports, and parent-focused programs [1], [2], [4], [5], [15], [20], [10].

• Telepractice and remote supports enable access to services and scalable delivery, including rural and Mandarin-speaking contexts [10], [18].

• Early identification and ongoing outcome monitoring anchor clinical decisions, via standardized evaluation protocols and tracking [6], [11].

• Language development and literacy interventions emphasize parental input, explicit instruction, and cognitive-linguistic outcomes [3], [16], [13], [12].

• Decisions about communication modalities (sign language vs spoken language) are made early, guided by information sources and family preferences [8], [20].
