NHS 2010 Conference
Local: Villa Erba Congress Center, Cernobbio, Italy
Dia: 8 de Junho de 2010 a 10 de Junho de 2010
Organization: NHS
Temátics: Beyond Newborn Hearing Screening: Infant and Childhood Hearing in Science and Clinical Practice
Main Topics: In the past 10 years the field of Newborn Hearing Screening and Early Intervention Programs has undergone tremendous advancement. Many countries throughout the world have well-established highly successful programs, yet there are still countries and regions that are well behind, which need support to forge ahead. Since the NHS Conferences have been the fuel to start and to maintain the engine, it is not difficult to predict that the 2010 NHS may be the final impetus in establishing early identification and intervention as a concrete reality worldwide. Technology for hearing aids, cochlear implants and audiological equipment is making continuous and impressive developments, thus offering increasingly reliable and affordable solutions. Still, one of the great omissions in too many intervention programs is the crucial role of parents within the process. Implementing improved systemic protocols and practices which encourage informed choice and the empowerment of families with children who are deaf or have hearing loss must be a fundamental objective to ensure the effectiveness of programs worldwide. The NHS 2010 will include keynote addresses, special sessions, workshops, a number of satellite events, free communications and massive poster sessions.
