Abstract
Parents play a critical role in the overall development of infants and toddlers with hearing loss. Specifically, the quality of parent-child interactions, including maternal sensitivity (MS) and facilitative language techniques (FLTs), have been shown to positively affect children's spoken language. This article will report on a parent-focused intervention to improve parental sensitivity and communication (Parent-Child Early Approaches to Raising Language Skills - PEARLS). The effectiveness and feasibility of this intervention will also be discussed.
