Co-regulation between young deaf and hard-of-hearing children and their caregivers
The Calming Together study will be among the first to investigate co-regulation in young DHH children and their parents in ecologically valid home settings. By assessing both parent and child factors, it will provide insights into how co-regulation unfolds in daily life and how it relates to broader aspects of self-regulation. The study will also include both mothers and fathers to investigate their potentially unique contributions toward co-regu…
A call to action
Parent–child interaction (PCI) is known to be a suportive predictor of child developmental outcomes. PCI is a 2-way, connected exchange where, particularly in infancy, the child is the agent of the interaction, initiating with eye gaze, action, emotion, and/or language, and the parent adapts their communication and interactional style in order to attune to and respond to their child. The research objectives of this study were informed by a group …
Family-Centered Early Intervention Deaf/Hard of Hearing (FCEI-DHH)
This article is the seventh in a series of eight articles that comprise a special issue on family-centered early intervention for children who are deaf or hard of hearing and their families, or FCEI-DHH. This article, Structure Principles, is the third of three articles (preceded by Foundation Principles and Support Principles) that describe the 10 FCEI-DHH Principles. The Structure Principles include 4 Principles (Principle 7, Principle 8, Princ…

The 10 FCEI-DHH Principles are organized conceptually into three sections (a) Foundation Principles, (b) Support Principles, and (c) Structure Principles. Collectively, they describe the essential Principles that guide FCEI for childre…

Family-Centered Early Intervention Deaf/Hard of Hearing (FCEI-DHH)
This article is the first of eight articles in this special issue on Family-Centered Early Intervention (FCEI) for children who are deaf or hard of hearing (DHH), or FCEI-DHH. In 2013, a diverse panel of experts published an international consensus statement on evidence-based Principles guiding FCEI-DHH. Those original Principles have been revised through a coproduction process involving multidisciplinary collaborators and an international consen…

Fathers of Young Deaf or Hard-of-Hearing Children
Much of the literature exploring the role of parents of children who are deaf or hard of hearing (DHH) has focused on mothers; yet, the involvement and perspectives of fathers is valuable and warrants attention. Following the PRISMA guidelines, this systematic literature review examined the peer-reviewed research that has differentially explored the experiences of fathers and mothers of young DHH children. Utilizing three databases (Web of Scienc…

Positive Psychology in Research with the Deaf Community
The emergence of positive psychology as an approach to studying what makes life worth living has inspired a new wave of research. Studies have focused on the prevalence and degree of positive attributes, attitudes, and characteristics in the wider population. Increasingly, lessons learned from positive psychology have been applied to understanding the more diverse experiences of individuals belonging to various groups. Only recently, however, has…
Hearing Parents’ Appraisals of Parenting a Deaf or Hard-of-Hearing Child
Hearing parents of deaf and hard-of-hearing children face unique challenges and stressors, the understanding of which has been the focus of numerous studies; yet, relatively little is known about their positive experiences. Using a qualitative purposive sampling design, interviews were conducted with 11 hearing parents (8 mothers, 3 fathers) exploring parents' positive appraisals of their experiences in raising a child who is deaf or hard of hear…
