Description

Children who are DHH with comorbid developmental disabilities present with complex developmental and medical needs requiring the expertise of professionals from multiple disciplines. This presentation will examine conditions that co-occur in children who are DHH and review the advantages and challenges associated with center-based interdisciplinary evaluation procedures currently employed in four university-affiliated institutions. Considerations in fair assessment procedures with this population will be included.
