Title: RESULTS OF THE RESEARCH ON THE NEEDS OF FAMILIES OF DEAF AND HARD-OF-HEARING CHILDREN IN EUROPE

Description:

A recent study conducted by FEPEDA, a pan-European organization, assessed the needs of families with deaf and hard-of-hearing children across 26 countries in Europe, involving over a thousand families. The findings were shared at an event attended by participants from across the globe. The study highlighted a shift in attitudes towards deafness due to advancements such as neonatal hearing screenings, hearing devices, early intervention, and inclusive education. Despite these advancements, there are still unmet needs for children and young adults with hearing impairments and their families.
