Abstract

As infants are being identified earlier and earlier by universal newborn hearing screening programs, there is a need to establish principles for professionals involved in habilitative processes. Recently, a panel of experts was convened for a 2–day conference entitled “Habilitative Issues for Infants with Hearing Loss,” the Bruton Conference on Audiology/ Communication Sciences, UTD/Callier Center for Communication Disorders. The purpose of this document was to summarize the panel’s discussions on habilitative principles, state- of-the-art practices, and future needs for infants with hearing loss.
