SUMMARY:Using Deaf Mentors to Support Reading in the Home - Webinar
DESCRIPTION:&nbsp\;\n\nFree webinar for families and professionals to learn
  about the role of a Deaf Mentor or Deaf Adult Role Model in the home.\n\n
 The National Center for Hearing Assessment and Management (NCHAM) is hosti
 ng the "Using Deaf Mentors to Support Reading in the Home" webinar at 1 p.
 m. on Dec. 10.\n\nThis interactive session will discuss the role of a Deaf

  Parents\, Children\, and the Search for Identity" by Andrew Solomon\, Sol
 omon talks about how important it is to connect with others of the same id

 eading experiences\, it can be beneficial to have a Deaf Mentor's support.
  Using a deaf person's point of view\, a Deaf Mentor can point out subtle 
 cues that naturally engage the child\, no matter the age\, with books and 
 teach parents and providers how to capitalize on those cues.\n\nThe presen
 tation will also offer specific strategies that anyone can use when prepar
 ing to read with a deaf infant or toddler. It will also provide books for 
 hands-on practice in applying these strategies.\n\nIn addition\, the speak
 ers will share specific templates and resources for families and providers
  to use to create READ Kits that can be used to foster a love of reading i
 n any home.\n\nThe webinar's learning objectives are:\n\n 	The participant
  will be able to explain the role of the Deaf Mentor and how a Deaf Mentor
  can support reading/language development.\n 	The participant will be able
  to identify three strategies to use when reading with their deaf child.\n
  	The participant will be able to develop a plan for activities to corresp
 ond with a chosen book.\n\nThe presenters are:\n\n 	Karla Giese\, Illinois
