Tip of the Month
Ready-Set-Go Help With Screening Children 3 - 5 Years of Age


Each Head Start program has unique needs in meeting its hearing screening requirements.  The ECHO Initiative wants to give Health Coordinators and screeners access to the best training resources currently available while developing additional tools that are most needed.

 

As a part of this effort, we recently created an Instant TA Tool to connect programs with the most useful resources that we know about.  

    

   

Here's how the individual most familiar with your program's hearing screening practices for children 3 - 5 years of age can use the Tool:

 

 

  1. Open the Instant TA Tool link (or go to www.kidshearing.org/instant-ta-tool-3-5)
    to answer a few simple questions
    (takes about 3 minutes.)
     
  2. Watch for an email response that contains links to specific resources based on individual program interests and needs.
Couldn't be easier!  And while we will be providing you with  information on the most helpful tools that we have found, we'll be learning more about how to target our future training tool development efforts.
