RT Journal Article SR Electronic A1 Hanáková, Adéla T1 Early Intervention in Context of Special Education - Communication between Parents of Hearing Impaired Children and Professionals with an Emphasis on Auditory-verbal Therapy JF e-Pedagogium YR 2014 VO 14 IS 4 SP 64 OP 72 DO 10.5507/epd.2014.042 UL https://e-pedagogium.upol.cz/en/artkey/epd-201404-0007.php AB The goal of the following article is to open the topic of teamwork in care for clients with a hearing impairment. The consequences the hearing impairment has on an individual require complex and long-term professional influence, and, at the same time, more levels of these consequences induce the need for defining broadly the multidisciplinary, interdisciplinary and trans-disciplinary team of professionals participating in the education and the therapy of these individuals and their families. The topic of team approaches constitutes a very lively discussed issue providing an extensive space for scientific-research activity both in our country and elsewhere. In the next section, we focus on early intervention approach for children who are deaf or hard of hearing and their families.
